GMES students plant bugs

Recently, Garnet Mesa fifth graders traveled to the top of Grand Mesa to plant bugs, geocache bugs to be more precise.

Students, parent volunteers and teachers enjoyed spectacular Colorado weather and picturesque fall landscapes as they hiked along Land-O-Lakes trail.

Students were able to connect with nature as they reviewed material learned in science. The students went on a scavenger hunt, and the hike culminated with a brief overview of geocaching and the planting of Garnet travel bugs, which students hope will travel all the way to France and other places around the globe. All in all, the day was a tremendous success.
