On May 3rd, the fifth-grade classes from Westview Elementary enjoyed a visit to the Circle City, Indianapolis. After a tour of the State Capitol and time spent roaming the State Museum, the group enjoyed the lovely May weather investigating the animals at the Indianapolis Zoo. During the trip, the students were treated to many new learning experiences that included a personal lesson on state government from local Senator Sue Glick as well as a trained dolphin show at the zoo. The kids returned to school with a deeper understanding of the government and history of our state, as well as a little sunburn.
