Envirothon Competition Encourages Students to Think Critically About the Natural World
On a beautiful spring Tuesday, May 9th, fourteen Grier students competed against other area high schools in an Envirothon event hosted by Juniata College at the Raystown Lake Field Station on Raystown Lake in Huntingdon Country, Pennsylvania. Grier teams took 4th and 5th place. Way to go!
Science teachers Mrs. Kallie Brubaker and Mrs. Samantha Knepp advise 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."
In addition to the lovely weather and competition events that Game Commission employees happened to capture a bear, giving our Grier students the opportunity to observe the process of tranquilizing, treating, and tagging the bear.
