MS Students Enjoy Summer Opportunities

Last week Elias Woolsey spoke in middle school Town Meeting about his summer adventure that was made possible by a Summer Opportunity Grant from USN.
Elias attended a camp called Action Quest in the British Virgin Islands, where he learned about the marine ecosystems, helped survey underwater organisms, and saw the damage done to the reefs by humans. He says, "The experience increased my curiosity about marine biology and environments around the world."

William Devlin, Emagination Computer Camp in Atlanta
Jade Hardaway, Sophia Simmons, Aasha Zinke,  and Katelyn Stark, Class Trip to Quebec
