#ThrowbackThursday to Eli Whitney Elementary’s 3rd-grade trip to Dinosaur State Park (CT) in March! 🦖

Students spent the day diving into all things dinosaurs through several hands-on learning activities. They saw and touched real fossils, explored ancient dinosaur footprints, discovered snakes and other critters in the exhibits, and went on a birding hike through the park. Students ended the day with a visit from Buddy Bison during lunch and then got their own Buddy Bison plushies on their way out!

Thank you to our Symetra volunteers who helped make the day extra special! 🫶
