Hathaway Elementary students enjoy new experiences through field trips to downtown Washougal

Hathaway Elementary School students had the chance to connect with their community recently with a fifth-grade field trip to the Washougal Library, Community Center and City Hall, while second-graders visited the Two Rivers Heritage Museum.The fifth-graders from the classrooms of Andy Schlauch, Erin Hayes and Carol Dinnel walked to and from school during the field trip.

“It is important for the students to get to know their community,” teacher Andy Schlauch said. “This is our second year and it was better than the first. We hope to make it an annual fifth- grade trip that all Hathaway kids look forward to.”
