South Olive Christian School
Christ-Centered β Affordable β Parent Partnered
Our Kindergartenβ2nd grade trip to the @outdoordiscoverycenter was wildly exciting! πΏπ¦ From exploring nature to hands-on learning, our students were totally in their element - but letβs be honestβ¦ getting to hold a snake really sss-stole the show! ππ
Godβs creation is pretty amazing up close, and we love watching our students learn, explore, and grow together.
