Freshmen Show Swim Skills
All magnet students need to know how to swim because they are studying "The River of Grass" and many activities involve water.

Weedology: Classes Clean-Up Campus
Experimental Science students learned to identify non-native, invasive plants and then put the lesson into practice. Working side-by-side with their teachers and personnel from YEA! the area around the magnet building was cleared of weeds and trash giving the healthy plants more room to grow and flourish. More photos are found in FIELD TRIPS.

Educators Continue to Learn
with the Everglades Foundation
Dr. Jody Berman, JoAnn Cantlupe and Matt Zealy attended the July Everglades Foundation Teacher Symposium to learn new strategies and best practices to enhance Everglades literacy in schools.
The theme of the event that was held at Log Key Nature Ares in Davie was "Go With the Flow: From Kissimmee to Monroe," a reference to the historical flow of water from the Kissimmee River to the Florida Keys in Monroe County.
