Survival is all about adaptation! 🪱🌿🐾
That's what our third-graders are learning as part of their Patterns of Survival ESTEEM field trip at our 55-acre outdoor campus. Students are investigating worms, exploring how animals adapt to their environments, and hiking through different ecosystems to discover patterns of survival in nature.
Not a bad way to spend a school day! 🔎
You're looking at some of the hardest-working kids in the business. 💙
Early mornings. Late nights. Hot fields. Countless repetitions.
What you see on the field under those Friday night lights is the product of hours upon hours of work when no one is watching.
