7th Grade
The 7th graders are taking part in the national program called The Journey North. On Thursday, October 24th, the students planted 50 Red Emperor tulip bulbs in the prayer garden as part of a STEM project. We reported our planting and sent a picture of the 7th graders planting all the bulbs. It can now be seen can on their website. In the spring, we will report when the tulips first emerge and also when they bloom. We will be able to track the coming of spring by watching the maps on Journey North.
