Students exploring how traits pass from generation to generation:





Quite a number of students chose to do the Level 4 Extension project for microorganisms. They did a wonderful job researching and presenting on a variety of microbes!


We got a treat of having a parent come share his experience with locating a Civil War shipwreck off the coast of Savannah. The students learned alot and enjoyed our visitors' presentation!
