Our 8th graders have had a busy week! On Tuesday, they spent the day exploring and learning about the history of our hometown, Minerva.

Students visited the Historical Society, Roxy Theater, Hart Mansion, Main Street, City Hall, Kishman's IGA, the Police Station, the First House, Normandy Inn, Valley Street, Veterans Park, Bicentennial Park, Minerva Dairy, and Brock Park.

It was a beautiful day filled with learning, community, and hometown pride as students discovered what makes Minerva such a special place. No place better! 🦁❤️

A special thank you to all of the local businesses, volunteers, and community members who helped make this trip possible and took the time to share the history and heart of our town with our students. We appreciate your support and generosity!
