Today during Santa Fe Trail day, the Jr. high school students took a field trip to the National Cemetery at Fort Lyon. Students learned about the flag code and how weathering affects gravestones. They also looked at gravestones for information about the deceased buried there and created maps of the important features of the cemetery. Afterwards, students ate a sack lunch at Fort Lyon. Thank you Mr. Yoder for sharing the pictures!

Tomorrow's High School Baseball game will be played at Otero College baseball field. Start time is 10:00am.
