Truman School
Truman Tigers Learning and Growing Together
What an incredible day of community, laughter, and outdoor fun as our wonderful K-5 bilingual students and their amazing families came together for a spectacular field day and picnic! We had an absolute blast capturing unforgettable moments, from our giant group lineup and fun family selfies to a sweet treat of donuts. Everyone stayed smiling while cooling off under the canopy, lining up for a delicious feast, playing ring toss, and sharing stories in the shade.

5th , 6th and 7th grade students learned that forests are not only beautiful places to visit and enjoy together on a hike, but also living infrastructure where every part depends on the others to survive. Trees give us oxygen, support pollination, and help manage our water.
Our students also use the trails to exercise while learning how to protect the environment. They understand that to preserve our forests, we must recycle and pack out any trash we bring in.
