Denio School Hits the Road
Marty Spell, Denio primary grades teacher, (on the right) and parent Stacy Egger make sure our lantern-holders know who they are before we begin the trek into the lava tube.
The children have studied rocks all through the month of May and now it's time to show them some. We pile them into Suburbans on the last weekend of the school year and drive to Bend, Oregon, or several days, to visit some real live volcanoes. We are twenty-one students and nine adults, and our first stop is a hike through a real lava tube at Newberry Crater National Volcanic Monument.
We are, of course, looking for bats.
