PreK classes and students who were chosen as Students of the Month for August enjoyed a program from The Museum of Natural Science. Pre-K students learned about reptiles and got to have a hands-on experience with an alligator! Students of the Month learned about the diet of owls by dissecting owl scat. It was a great learning opportunity for everyone!
