Summer learning students put their engineering skills to the test with a hands-on bridge-building STEM project! Each bridge was tested to its limit (until it broke or they ran out of weights). The winning design held nearly 100 pounds and never broke!

The 31st Annual 4th grade Rendezvous was in full swing on May 8th, taking over the Nez Perce County Fair Building.
Over 420 4th graders were able to enjoy hands-on activities related to Idaho History.
