🌿🍂 Today our MOCI Transition Program students enjoyed a refreshing nature hike at Northpoint Park! 🌳✨ During the hike, we learned about invasive plants in our area and how they impact the environment, while also spotting and identifying many of the beautiful native plants that make our region unique. 🌱💚 It was a wonderful day of hands-on learning, fresh air, and connection with nature! 🌞 #MOCITransitionProgram #NatureHike #HandsOnLearning #NorthpointPark #manisteeisd #studentsfirst #manisteecounty #northernmichigan

🐟🌿 Exploring the Little Manistee River Weir! 🌿🐟

Two of our classrooms had a fantastic field trip last week to the Little Manistee River Weir! Students enjoyed a nature walk, observed the fish, and learned about the weir’s purpose and operations from knowledgeable staff who shared insights from the signs along the trail.

A wonderful day of learning and discovery right in our community!
