On Friday, August 24th we took a field trip to the Red Rock Ranch. The students watched a video about the Flint Hills while sitting on their bedrolls. Then they rotated through 4 different sessions. The sessions were singing old time songs as Ellen Durst played the piano and song leaders Zev Allen and Kelly Holliday led the singing. Deb Brown explain the many uses of a bandana and other tack that a cowboy might use. Each student was given their own bandana. Luke Schreiber led a session titled "Chuckwagon 101". He shared many things about the importance of the chuckwagon. Students got to get up close and personal with a horse after learning about safety while being around a horse and the use of the tack. Students were treated to hot biscuits and drinks before loading the buses for home. It was a wonderful afternoon and we thank Red Rock Ranch for hosting us. A big thanks goes out to USD 335 administration for allowing us to go.
