On Tuesday, May 10th, Grier students competed against other high schools in an event called Envirothon, which was held at Juniata College's Raystown Field Station, on Raystown Lake in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. Hannah, Tia, Rachel and Nicole received 4th place and Emily, Heather, Helen, Jennifer and Lilian earned 6th place.
Science teacher Kelly Forest advises Grier's Envirothon team. According to the Pennsylvania Envirothon website, "Envirothon is a fun, academic event. It challenges high school students to think critically about the natural world and their roles in it. Envirothon combines in-class curriculum and outdoor training, helping students to learn more about Aquatic Ecology, Forestry, Soil & Land Use, Wildlife, and Current Environmental Issues."
