When you plan a field trip in late April, a snow day doesn’t even enter your mind.
But it happened this year for the annual Pacelli Middle School trip to Eagle Bluff.
With a shortened trip, due to our last snow day in April, the fantastic staff at Eagle Bluff had to work their magic and move classes around to include the annual 6th grade Group Challenges, the seventh-grade indoor rock climbing and eighth grade tree tops course.
It might have been a shortened trip but memories were made and all sorts of learning took place. New this year was a class called Egg Drop where students had to create a container that would protect an egg from cracking or breaking from a 1 meter, 2 meter and a 3 meter fall. A number of students were successful in all three drops!

This was our 10th year of earning the Golden Plate Award with ZERO food waste for all meals while at Eagle Bluff. It is an exceptional victory for the many years of licking our plates clean which is easy to do considering the fantastic food at Eagle Bluff.
Thank you to our parent chaperones of Sarah Nuss, Angela Miller, Scott Rogne, Peggy Drees and Neil Drees, who helped make this trip possible.
