Today our 4th graders had the chance to step back in time with a special visit from Mountain Man expert Mr. Wangeman! He shared incredible stories, fascinating artifacts, and tons of knowledge about the lives of Mountain Men. This presentation is always a 4th grade favorite, and our students look forward to it every year!

Thank you for continuing to come back and share your passion with our students, Mr. W—we truly appreciate it. You're the best Mountain Man we know!

Students can complete the activities, cross them off as they go, and return their calendar on March 31 or April 1. Everyone who turns one in will receive a prize and will also be entered into a grand prize drawing for an amazing surprise!
