John Dunn Presentation
Today we invited John Dunn to come speak to the grades 4-9 students about his expedition to Ellesmere Island.
Students learned about the animals, environment, and challenges of such a journey. They learned to pack 'light' and to focus on what they really need to survive the 96 days!
