The NHS National Honor Society is recognizing member Jordan Smalley on their board this week. #NOKOPROUD
Mr. Harrison’s 8th graders recently examined the contents of owl pellets. Their goal was to see if they could observe and confirm the one bone/two bones/digits pattern from the bones they found. They also had the opportunity to reflect back on the precision work needed to uncover fossils in our time. The bones are as fragile, if not more fragile than the fossil remains they have been studying. #NOKOPROUD
