Throwback Thursday! Last week, our 6th graders engaged in a fantastic joint activity between Kalamazoo RESA and the Air Zoo. The KRESA Mobile Lab had an interactive experience that was aligned with a "Mission to Mars" activity done in the classroom by the Air Zoo.

Thank you for bringing learning to life for our Pioneers!
