Ask Mrs. Nicole Griffin, a para at Catalayah Elementary School, if she has been everywhere, and she will say, "not yet!" The Griffins are on a mission to see all 33 Oklahoma State parks. This week, she and her family visited four in western Oklahoma. Ethan, a 2nd grader and Madelyn, in PreK at Catalayah, sported their #CPSZEBRAPRIDE for our #ZebraTravelDiaries. This past week they visited: 🗺 Little Sahara State Park, where they saw people on ATVs playing in the dunes, 🗺 Alabaster Caverns State Park, where they got to go in the cave and see lots of bats up close, 🗺 Boiling Springs State Park, where they saw natural springs bubbling out of the ground and lots of wildlife while hiking, and 🗺 Roman Nose State Park, where they did more hiking. They have now seen 17 state parks and say it is a wonderful way to see Oklahoma's different terrain and beauty.
