Big Lake Elementary School sixth grade students recently attended the Annual Skagit Youth Conservation Tour at Pomona Grange Park in Burlington for a full day of hands-on outdoor learning. 🌿
Students rotated through six interactive learning stations focused on environmental stewardship, natural resources and conservation. Activities included exploring local forestry and ecosystems, learning about soil and clean water protection, practicing Leave No Trace outdoor ethics, participating in a salmon life cycle game, and discovering the important role pollinators play in our food systems.
Experiences like these help students connect classroom learning to the world around them while building curiosity, teamwork and an appreciation for the environment. Thank you to the organizers and volunteers who made this meaningful learning opportunity possible for our students!

Big Lake Elementary School 6th graders recently visited the Big Lake Fire Department to learn important fire safety skills and practice using fire extinguishers. 🧯👨🚒
During the hands-on experience, firefighters shared valuable safety tips about preventing home fires, including the dangers of using cheap or incompatible chargers and why charging cell phones on beds or near blankets can be dangerous. Students also learned how being prepared and knowing what to do during a fire can help keep families safe.
Our students had a blast practicing on simulated fires while learning real-world safety skills they can take home and share with their families.
A huge thank you to the Big Lake Fire Department for taking the time to educate and empower our students through this meaningful experience!
