Art Smith, a geologist with Hecla Mining Co., talks to Ramsey fifth-graders about rocks and minerals during the school's first mini-science day of the year. 

Every grade had some type of hands-on science lesson. First grade studied the five senses, second grade learned about the chemistry of foods, the third grade topic was states of matter, and fourth-graders turned their attention to space. Several experts from the community participated.

Ramsey became a School of Emphasis in Science this year, integrating science into all areas of curriculum.

Members of Coeur d'Alene Elks Lodge 1254 and students in the Lake City Life Skills Class put labels in dictionaries that will be distributed to third-graders to take home. The Elks have been sponsoring the dictionary project in local school districts for several years.
