    This is a wonderful experience for students of all ages. Open house gives students and parents the opportunity to visit. Not all students are able to attend a field trip to Roy Hyatt during the school year. As of right now only 2nd and 5th graders are allowed to take field trips to R.H.E.C. and not all schools are able to attend due to the fact, the field trip calendar fills up a day and half after it is opened for teachers to sign up for the field trips.
    Everyone come on out, get there early and enjoy a night out!
    P.S. – My favorite creature is the big ole Iguana. He is cool!
