Birch State Park Creates Memories
Magnet upperclassmen and women joined YEA! at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park for canoeing, collecting water samples, cleaning the beach, hiking on a nature trail as they identified and characterized the flora and fauna at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. More photos in FIELD TRIPS.
Campus Tour for Backyard Habitats
Freshmen in Experimental Science 1 took a "Campus Tour" that focused on the importance of habitats on campus and home. Victor Suarez, Broward County's NatureScape Specialist, showed the students how to identify native plants that are beneficial to their gardens as well as exotics that are harmful. Magnet Parents Raise Funds
During the year, the magnet parent organization, Fans of the Everglades Restoration Magnet (FERM) host activities to raise funds to help the program.
Sometimes people need to bring flyers and other times just sign up. If you shop online and use Amazon, please consider using FERM as your donation spot. It cost you nothing but makes a difference to the students as funds help cover trips and school supplies. Link: https://smile.amazon.com and use Fans of the Everglades Restoration Magnet for future purchases. For more information on the organization, click F.E.R.M for Parents on the navigator above.

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."

Slogging in the Glades
All 9th grade magnet students spent the day at Holiday Park experience in the Everglades Up Close and Personal.
After a brief explanation of how every is affected by climate change because they are "connected," students spent some of the day in different activities: riding in an airboat, testing the water at different locations, dipping invertebrates from the water and "slogging" through waist-high water.More photos in FIELD TRIPS.
