Tim Opat, a student teacher from Winona State University, helps Colton Ingram, a kindergartner in a mulit-age outdoor class, and classmates Wyatt Lundgren and Jaxon VanMinsel, both first-graders, with an animal search assignment Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020, at Trollskogen Park in Spring Grove. Students and their families at Spring Grove Public Schools who preferred outdoor classrooms were given the option this year in an effort to spread out the student population because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Assistant Superintendent Gina Meinertz said the ability to have outdoor classrooms helps spread out the entire student population. Meinertz said the goal is for students to be outside every week.
