Project Description

2019-2021 Our Place in the Great Lakes Watershed

Our Place in the Great Lakes Watershed
Lifelong stewardship is our goal. We know that teaching students facts about �their place� gives them the impetus to learn, explore, and appreciate their community. A year long phenological study of the local environment will help students see change over time, deepening their understanding of the Lake Superior watershed.

Projects include:
-school gardens
-bee hives
-school wide composting
-outdoor classroom
-disc golf course
-geology walkway
-schoolwide bird studies
