Our students had an amazing time digging for worms 🪱, getting their hands in the dirt, and discovering how these tiny creatures play a BIG role in our environment! 🌎💚
They explored food chains, learned how every organism matters, and had tons of fun along the way! 🐦🌿🔍
Smiles, curiosity, and lots of “WOW!” moments filled the day — we love seeing our students learn by doing! 😄📚💫
#ESCLearning #HandsOnScience #esctheplacetobe
🌿✨ Exploring the ESC! ✨🌿
Our students had a great day walking through the mangroves, learning about food webs and food chains, and discovering how important these habitats are. They even met Casey the snake and got up close with this amazing creature! 🐍💚

STRONG ATTENDANCE = STRONG LEARNING 💪🍎
When students are in class every day, they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed.
Attendance always matters, but October 6-10 is especially important. That's the week the state takes its enrollment snapshot to decide school funding for the year.
✅ Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.
Let's work together to make sure our students are here next week—it makes a difference for everyone.
