The Euharlee Grow Getters would like to thank Katie Martin with the UGA Extension Office and Master Gardener, Steve Zuber, for their help in teaching students about the life cycle and parts of plants. They have been a huge asset to our garden.
Mrs. Boyter, Mrs. Segars, and Mrs. West recently wrote a grant. We found out this week that they were awarded the grant, and we are one of only fifteen counties in the state to receive it!! Our school will be awarded $19,998 from the GA Department of Education. The purpose of this grant is to expand access to STEM/ STEAM education through project-based learning, content integration, process-based thinking, collaborative planning, and other STEM and STEAM professional learning. Congratulations!!! Way to go Wildcats!

Coach Torrence and sophomores from Adairsville High School's STEM magnet program visited our fifth grade classes yesterday. They spoke with the students about civil and structural engineering in order for the students to make preparations to build their own structures that will withstand an earthquake.
Students in fifth grade have been investigating the effects of earthquakes and
tsunamis, researching structures that withstand earthquakes in seismic zones. Today the students worked through the engineering design process to build a structure that will withstand a mock earthquake using a shake table.
Ranger Travis visited our Pre-K classes this week and taught them about the different birds that live in Georgia. Thank you Ranger Travis!!
