On Wednesday, April 26th, more than 20 students from Junction City Middle and High School visited the Sunset Zoo in Manhattan as part of the 'Inspire, Thrive and Grow' program.
The program is sponsored by the R2B4 Bramlage Family Foundation to empower youth and give them opportunities they may not have otherwise had access to.
The 'Inspire, Thrive and Grow' program will take youth to museums, zoos, and sporting events.
"It's just easy to go to work and put these things together because you see these kids when they come out here and super excited and and that's what it's all about, giving kids opportunities with the foundation." R2B4 Bramlage Family Foundation's Rick Bazan says.
The group of students had the opportunity to explore the zoo exhibits with a special tour by Sunset Zoo's Melissa Kirkwood, who explained the different animals to the group.
Following the zoo tour, students enjoyed a picnic lunch provided by the R2B4 Bramlage Family Foundation.
