Parents Raise Funds

Freshmen Learn in HOPE
All 9th grade magnet students spent one day at Broward College's Tigertail Lake to learn water safety skills.
After passing the swimming assessment earlier in the year at a pool, they now faced open water since the Everglades is the River of Grass and many trips revolve around water. More photos in FIELD TRIPS.

Billie Swamp Safari/Museum
Juniors in the Cambridge Cultural class studied the Seminole history and cultural just before Winter Break. Two busloads of upperclassmen spent an entire day on the reservation.
After breaking into two groups, half rode in swamp buggies and studied the wildlife on the preserve. Then they participated in the animal show before watching the venomous snake presentation.
The other group first toured the Ah-Tha-Thi-Ki Museum, saw a video about Seminole history and then took a nature walk showing plants the Seminole continue to use in their daily lives. More photos in FIELD TRIPS.

Gardenology 2.0:
Planting Edible Gardens
Students in Honor Expeimental Science got down and dirty learning about sustainable gardening on school campus. The freshmen created above-ground garden beds and used appropriate soil for edible plants.
Throughout the year they will maintain the gardens with companion plants added. Students will enjoy the mature plant and enjoy the "fruits of their labor."
