Today I got to work outside in our beautiful mountains! Our school district owns two camps in the mountains so that sixth grade students can spend a week learning at Outdoor Lab School. Students, accompanied by their teachers and high school leaders, learn about geology, astronomy, navigation, archery, and many other topics while they're there. Both of my schools went up together so I drove up today with one of the principals to see how they were doing. It was great because I know all the kids and they were happy to see a friendly face. Many of them needed a "mom fix" and I supplied many hugs upon request! It is such a wonderful program because even though Arvada is only 45 minutes away from the mountains, it is surprising how many kids never get to experience the out-of-doors and have never been away from home. Both of my kids loved it and Alex was a high school leader two times.
Favorite conversation of the day:
Kid 1- "Hi Mrs. Ostwald!
Kid 2- "How do you know Mrs. Ostwald?"
Kid 1- "She's our librarian"
Kid 2- "No she's our librarian!"
A-ha moment went they realize I'm both of their librarians!
Beautiful day!
