Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center Trip - Students in 3rd grade studied the  Chesapeake Bay and the animals and plants that are part of the Chesapeake ecosystem.  As part of this unit they visited the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center to learn about the decline of oysters in the bay and explore the Chesapeake Ecosystem.  Students learn about the life cycle of an oyster and the process of restoring the oyster population.  Students also learned the importance of oyster reefs and why they are so vital to the Bay’s biodiversity.    3rd grade 79 students May 2019
Ocean Pollution and Beach Erosion 
​During 2018-2019, all Kindergarten and Second grade students traveled to Assateague for an environmental day of learning about the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.  Students learned about the animals that live in the ocean and how humans impact their habitat when they leave trash behind after visiting the beach.  Information was presented about how sea turtles, sea birds, fish, and marine mammals die each year because they mistake plastic trash for food or suffocate when they become tangled in plastic trash.   All  kindergarten students went on this field trip in May 2019, 95 students /
April 2019 Second grade students attend this field trip, 81 students

Interactive Assembly by a group called Milkshake -February 2020

 The Milkshake duo group sang songs about our environment and kept all of our PreK 3 and PreK 4 students moving. The children danced and sang about water pollution and saving the earth. One of the song lyrics the children sang had the repeated verse  “The world won’t fit in the washing machine it’s up to us to keep it clean.”  Students enjoyed singing about saving the earth, and protecting our oceans as they played volleyball with a large ball that was a replica of our earth.
February 2020 included 105 students from our PreK 4 and PreK 3 programs.
