This past weekend we had the annual Lion's Club Steak and Lobster Boil, which is always a hit in Reid Park!! Here are FIVE things to know this week:
Our Falcon Ecology Club was back on the lake doing a plant survey with the Geneva Lake Environmental Agency (GLEA) and others. They tested the health and habitat of our beautiful lake. Great job Ecology Club, which is led by Mrs. Rabe and Mrs. Booth and thank you to Jake Schmidt from GLEA for always working on unique ways to engage our students in active learning to keep our local ecology healthy.
