🦉🔬 Learning Science Through Discovery!
BIO II students got hands-on with an owl pellet lab, using their findings to uncover clues about an owl’s diet and ecosystem role. After identifying the remains of prey animals, students are using their data to estimate how many animals an owl may eat in a year and then putting that information to work by creating food webs and ecological pyramids. 🌎🌿
Who knew an owl pellet could teach us so much about an ecosystem? 🦉💡

Remembering September 11, 2001
Eighth-grade students at St. Clare Walker Middle School took time to honor and remember the events of September 11, 2001, through a meaningful and powerful learning experience.
Students were provided mock boarding passes, explored family testimonies, and watched videos documenting the devastation and the impact felt across our nation. School Board Member Karen McMinn also shared her personal account of that day, giving students the opportunity to hear firsthand about the uncertainty, fear, and unity that followed.
As we remember those we lost and those whose lives were forever changed, we are reminded of the strength, compassion, and unity our nation demonstrated in the days that followed. 🇺🇸
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
