Schaller-Crestland 2nd Grades
Travel to Sioux City


          On Friday, April 20th, 43 Schaller-Crestland second grade students, teachers, and chaperones were treated to a day at the Lewis and Clark Park and the Tyson Event Center for the Shrine Circus performance.  We heartedly thank all the area businesses who sponsored our classes and made this wonderful experience possible.
          The students were excellent travelers and represented our school district very well.  We left Schaller first thing in the morning and headed to the Lewis and Clark Park in Sioux City.  The weather was beautiful. Everyone enjoyed their picnic lunch. The park offered several new and different pieces of equipment which everyone headed for during our recess play. 
          Then we were off to Tyson Event Center! It was quite a sight! The kids were mesmerized by all of the acts, performers, costumes, staging, animals, maintenance, and equipment.  Our eyes were always watching somewhere as the wonder and magic of the circus opened before us!  We thrilled to trapeze artists, gymnasts, lions & tigers, elephants, ponies, clowns, Aerial Extravaganzas, the human cannonball, dancers, tumblers, the Extreme Riders, and many more sights, sounds, and smells only found at a circus. It truly was a terrific time!  Conversations between friends always sounded excited and we all left feeling elated at such a grand experience. 
Then back to the bus and back to school.  Everyone agreed the Shrine Circus was marvelous!  Again, the Schaller-Crestland second graders want to thank those businesses who made this magical day possible!
