• Providence Festival of Trees
• Plays/Musicals at Oregon Children's Theater
• Portland Walking Tour
• Oregon State Capitol 
• Tryon Creek State Park
• Outdoor School (6th grade)
• OMSI (all grades)
• Oregon Zoo
• Pumpkin Patches
• Franz Bakery
• Pittock Mansion
• Oregon Heritage Farms
• Oregon Trail Overnight (4th grade)

• Golf Trip (PE-7th grade)

All of these opportunities enrich our students' educational experience, make learning fun, and support our curriculum standards!
