CHS International Baccalaureate students took their creativity and critical thinking skills to the Omaha Zoo today for their annual retreat. This month, a new IB “menteam” won the traveling IB Community Cup for their stellar performance in the zoo scavenger hunt. We wish we could also show pictures from our fantastic behind the scenes tours, but that’s not allowed! Thank you for an amazing day!! Our admission was paid for by a zoo grant from the Julie Morsman Schroeder Foundation! 😍💜🦅🏆
