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.

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. Students recorded the session.

Immersed in Wetlands Wonders
Exploring the local wetlands as the topic for 9th Grade magnet students as they had fun studying the critters that let people know the water quality of Florida's inland systems, and learned about the value and function of wetlands. More photos in FIELD TRIPS.

Educators Continue Learning
with 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.

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."
