    A typical school day for a second-grader means classes, recess, lunch, more class and then a trip back home. Tuesday, however, students from Lincoln-McKinley Primary School changed that pattern with trips to the Blaine County Wildlife Museum and the Blaine County Museum. Around 40 students with various parents and teachers took the trip to Chinook with the classes splitting up, one going to the wildlife museum first and the other going to the county museum, then swapping...

This year saw 65 students and 23 adults helping pull weeds. While one may think that getting fifth-graders to dig up weeds would be hard, that tends to not be the case with some...
