Our 4th Annual PSE Everglades Week is off and running! 1st, 2nd, and 4th grades students have had visitors come to their classes and share what they do to protect the plants and animals of the Everglades.

2nd grade students have been coming to the STEM Lab to monitor the water quality of the water near Parkside, and our 5th grade students have been helping to raise funds for the
Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation and teaching younger students about sea turtles!

All while each grade level every grade level participates in
The Everglades Foundation's Everglades Literacy Program lessons during science class.

Ask your students what they have been learning about the Everglades this week.
