Back to the Ranch with Mrs. Durheim
Here's a chance for your child and two friends to escape the city and head to the country for a day of outdoor activity and fresh air.  Your child will arrive at the Four Mound Prairie Bison Ranch around 9:30 am on a school day.  No detention slips here though because this is an excused day off from Mr. Banks.  At the ranch, your child and his/her two friends will get to choose horseback riding and/or hiking for their main activity.  There will be a delicious lunch and plenty of chances for fun as the day unfolds.  No class schedule here - just relaxing and exploring in the magnificent outdoors.  This event will take place before the 2015 Washington, DC trip or before the fall Camp Wooten Outdoor Experience, and is available for students in grade four and up.   Bid on this package for your child to have the opportunity for adventure and learning outside the classroom.

The pictures surround a chalkboard creating a one-of-a-kind decoration for your house! Don’t miss getting your hands on this sweet piece of art to hang in your home for all to see.
