​Student Leader buses typically pick up Student Leaders from area high schools, and bring them to the MESD Ainsworth building. From there, Student Leaders can board the bus destined for their Outdoor School or 4th Grade Overnight site. At the end of each week, the process happens in reverse—buses from all sites convene on the MESD, and then Student Leaders board the bus to their high school.
