Yesterday the 4th grade students went to Springfield to view a production of "Number the Stars" by Louis Lowery. We also had the privilege of taking a small tour of the campus at the University of Illinois Springfield! The students really enjoyed learning about all the things they could do if they choose to attend! What a learning experience for them!
