Had a visit this morning from this cool, smaller water bird in our front yard.
A gigantic THANK YOU to Bette and Sandy Baldwin for arranging an amazing donation from Rolf Kleinwort of a humongous seashell collection. These shells (and the fantastic custom cabinets that house them) will be used at Eagle Point for years to come to learn to sort, classify, identify the organisms that used these “homes” and to think about how to protect our oceans. Lessons in all grades are forthcoming — any ideas are welcome (please click on comments below!).
All those selected for Sci-Tech club look at the Science Club page to see more information. First meeting is TOMORROW, THURSDAY, OCT. 1 at 2:05-3:00 in the Science Lab. See you there!

It was wonderful to see Papa John’s at school today supporting our Learning Garden by sponsoring the Pizza Garden section. This part of the garden also includes a banana patch — a small edible garden conveniently located near the cafeteria. Additional vegetables have been growing wonderfully over near the West Wing – peas, tomatoes, cabbages, zucchini (prized for their delicious flowers), okra, cucumber, and salad greens. Come visit our garden – The Learning Garden 2009!
