The FBLA club went to the St. Louis Aquarium yesterday. 🐟 We had great weather and a wonderful time! The students were amazing the entire day. We had an educational class about creepy crawlies, where they got to pet a snake. 🐍 They enjoyed the aquarium and got a chance to see mermaids. 🧜♀️ Some also enjoyed other activities around Union Station. 🎡 And, they got to eat at some really fun places with ice cream and huge milkshakes! 🍨 Thank you for a fantastic year! ❤️ Enjoy your Summer! ~Mrs. Catiller
