Huddling around the fire LMS 7th Grade Field Trip to Howard Lake June 6, 2010 Libby Middle School ended the school year with a flurry of field trips. The fourth grade class toured Libby Dam, the fifth grade class had its annual woods tour on Tuesday, the sixth graders went for a hike along Callahan Creek and Old Highway 2, the seventh graders went to Howard Lake, and the eighth grade class had a rainy day at Silverwood. The seventh graders also had a wet, rainy day at Howard Lake Wednesday, but that didn't seem to bother them too much. They had a variety of great stations to visit and a short hike up the Great Northern Mountain trail after lunch. In spite of the rain, it was a great day. Photos by Maggie Craig, LibbyMT.com
