My Project

These natural resources, project-based class services an elementary and middle school student body in this dynamic K-8 campus.

Students build their foundation of nature's phenomena through projects that are relevant to our state's biotic and abiotic scenes.

Science, language arts, math, and social studies, which are also core subjects are the vehicles that support student focuses in the natural resources' curriculums. Conservation, preservation, and ecology in hands-on, minds on, authentic experiences, on and off of campus are built upon year after year (K-5) and expanding into middle school level depending on students' personal interest level.

Consumables, garden supplies, and literary resources are an essential need for servicing the student body here. Support for student participation means having the materials necessary for engagement, inquiry, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and more.
