There are so many things you can do to celebrate. One great way is to participate in Bio Blitz 2020! Bio Blitz will take place remotely from April 24-27.  

Our Science Department has worked hard to organize this event and to design it so we can all participate remotely from April 24-27.  

This event will provide students and families throughout the district the opportunity to step away from our online learning platforms and connect to science and the biodiversity in our homes, yards, and neighborhoods.
