-FISH were added to the aquarium this weekend! When children arrived to school today, there were a few fish swimming around in our lobby...very exciting! The fish even had their "blue shirts" on for "Stomp out Bullying" day. We have also added a computer monitor in the lobby that displays pictures, information, and graphs about what is happening in the aquarium. Currently, a slide show is playing with graphs showing the change in different levels over time (pH, Ammonia, Nitrite). It has been great to see individual students and some classes accessing the aquarium as a learning tool (see pic below)!

-PLAYGROUND - Thanks to the generosity of our PTO (and your donations), we have put an order in for two new basketball backboard systems and two "funnel ball" games. The basketball nets will be installed on the grades 3-5 blacktop and the funnel balls will be installed on the K-2 play area. As an added activity, we experimented with painting a miniature football field on the grade 3-5 grass. It turned out to be a bit too small, but the kids are enjoying it just the same (Thanks to Joe Lucido).
