History Days

Second Grade Field Trips

Thompson Education Foundation sponsors curriculum-based field trips for all 2nd and 4th grade students each year in addition to occasional opportunities. The second grade students’ field trip aligns with their local history requirement and includes a visit each May to the Rialto Theater, Loveland Museum and Lone Tree School. Students learn about local history through hands-on activities, reenactments, timeline reviews, a scavenger hunt and much more, all while visiting these three local historic sites.

These field trips, which every second grade class in the district is invited to attend, are made possible by the Lola Johnson Field Trip Fund. A former Board of Education member and TEF liaison from the board, Lola Johnson was deeply invested in sharing and preserving the history of Loveland. Her family started the memorial fund in her name to preserve her legacy of community involvement and enrichment.
