On Wednesday high school students took a field trip to Aurora, IL. Students explored art on the Aurora University campus and took a tour of their art gallery, the Schingoethe Center. The current exhibit explored the connection between art and particle physics. In the after school students attended Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at the Paramount Theater! It was a great day full of new experiences!
