The STEAM Club and Gifted/Talented students had the opportunity to travel to the Denver Downtown Aquarium last week on an adventure like no other. In addition to exploring the aquarium, those students who chose were able to "Swim with the Fish." Those students got into wetsuits and snorkeled in the aquarium tank with stingrays, eels, and other types of fish. Thank you to Mrs. Cuckcow and Mr. Eckhart for organizing and sponsoring this awesome adventure and experience.
