🐾🦅 The Lanphier Life Skills crew had a wildly fun day at Scovill Zoo! Ms. Hawkins and Ms. Landon’s classes enjoyed an unforgettable trip filled with animal adventures, from feeding guinea pigs to spotting a ringtail lemur with baby twins! 🚂🎠 Our students loved the train and carousel rides, and it was extra special to see the bald eagles they’ve been learning about in science class. Huge thanks to the zoo staff for being so welcoming and helpful — it was a fantastic experience all around! 🌟# Northside #LanphierPride #LifeSkillsInAction #ZooDayFun #HandsOnLearning
