Ryan Park Elementary

Ryan Park students in Mrs. Clary's class are no strangers to the great outdoors. Throughout the year, Mrs. Clary finds creative ways for students to learn while exploring the campus grounds. When snow blanketed the landscape, her students tracked animal tracks. Recently, the students used their walking sticks—earned through the RP PTO Read-a-thon—to good use as they continued their outdoor discoveries.
