Happy National Oyster Day! 🦪🌊

Did you know one adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day? These hardworking creatures help keep our Bay healthy for the fish, crabs, and wildlife that call it home.

🦪 A big Warrior THANK YOU to Taylor Mason of the Virginia Oyster Company for sharing her knowledge with our students during Bay Warrior Day last school year and for generously donating oyster shells for our summer student event. Your partnership helps our students connect classroom learning with the incredible natural resources right here in our own community!

Here's to celebrating oysters, learning, and the people who help our Warriors discover just how amazing the Chesapeake Bay can be!
