Field Trip Fun at Blank Park Zoo! 🦔🐍

Our Central Decatur Middle School Agriculture Exploratory students took learning on the road yesterday to Des Moines! As part of their first class project, students planned the entire trip themselves—from exhibit exploring to participating in the Africa Educational Program.

Highlights included meeting Milky Way the Ball Python and Cookie the Hedgehog, learning how the SAFE Program protects wildlife globally, and checking out the brand-new lion enclosure (don’t worry, everyone made it past the lions safely!).

A huge thank you to Mr. Johnson for approving the trip, Mr. Atwood for getting everyone there and back safely, and Blank Park Zoo for offering a student discount to make this experience possible. … See MoreSee Less
