Last year, we learned the printing press (MIDO) we'd been working with for years closed shop.

So we began a new relationship with Hampden Press. We didn't get to field trip there because of the shutdown, but this year, we did! Last Friday, we field tripped to Hampden and had ourselves a big ol' time, and learned a lot.

Our Nonfiction Editor, Lucas Miller, wrote an article for the school paper about our visit, and with a nice set of photos included.
Thanks Hampden Press!
