Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Field Lesson Last Wednesday, on April 1st, our 5th

grade scholars went on a field lesson to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo along with two of our other Fortune School campuses.

The focus of the trip was on our scholars having an experience in Cal Poly’s Learn

by Doing Science Lab. The campus focused on key standards to help our

scholars with their performance on the Science CST coming up in May. They had

a great time! Thank you to all the parents who allowed our scholars the

opportunity to have this experience and thank you to the staff who helped with

chaperoning and making this trip

happen. See a few pictures below.
