Our biology class and 4K/K went to the vernal pond today! We collected water to investigate and identify different amphibians and macroinvertebrates. Vernal ponds are important to the environment because they are temporary habitats that provide an area for these organisms to breed and grow.

Join us as the Outdoor Education students take the lead in their learning by showcasing a topic we learned about that they are passionate about. Each student created a poster presentation to share key components and design a hands-on activity, giving others a chance to experience the topic.
