Dear Puffins,
It has been a great joy to be your teacher this year! Each day, you impressed me with your enthusiasm for learning, your creativity, your positive attitudes, and your care for each other. You are all truly magnificent human beings and I feel so lucky to be a part of your journey.
You have all grown so much this year and I am exceedingly proud of you. Remember to embrace challenges, put forth your best effort and be creative problem solvers. Be kind and have fun as you go boldly in the direction of your dreams!
Have a wonderful summer everyone!
Best Wishes,
Ginny

Quest – Wild Forest Grove
Created by the Level 2 Sea Birds of the Forest Grove Community School!
Quests are fun, free-choice learning adventures that use clues and hints to encourage participants to discover the natural, cultural and historical "treasures" of place and community. If you go questing, don’t forget to wear hiking shoes, and bring water, a snack and a buddy!
Each stop on our quests teaches you about one awesome native animal. Our quest also includes a letterbox at each stop. Bring a notebook along on your journey, and you can collect all twelve wildlife stamps! If you bring your own stamp, you can prove you were there too. Remember, though, close and return the letterbox back to the spot you discovered it. Learn more at letterboxing.org.
Here, the clues and an explanation are attached as a PDF
