More Photos from the NHS trip to Lincoln, Nebraska.

The NHS students took their annual service trip to Lincoln. We started out our venture with a tour of our State Capital building, then went back in time to the Prehistoric Put Put Golf. Enjoyed a great supper at Cheddars and then went underground and experienced a fantastic tour of Robbers Cave. Finally to end our trip we helped sort boxes at the People’s City Mission. We found anything from fancy dolls, sunglasses, to sombreros! It was a great way to make an impact in Nebraska.
