ELEMENTARY
- Part of our Bay habitat conservation is our Oyster Recovery Program, which is school-wide (K-8) but hosted by our 4th grade elementary class. (In 2014-2015, our 3rd and 4th grades are combined and team-taught.)
- Kindergartners raise and release horseshoe crabs under the auspices of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
- A long-time 2nd grade rite of passage has been an interdisciplinary study of the history, geography, animals, and ecosystems of the Galapagos Islands.
- Students plant and harvest a salad garden, sponsored by the Bill James Environmental Grant, under the aegis of the Keep Maryland Beautiful program, Maryland Environmental Trust. This plays a part in our emphasis on healthy eating. The garden is located near where we eat outdoors when weather permits. It is part of our campus habitat care.
