Learn more about the proposal and the services it supports at the AMA-ESD website at www.amaesd.org

Passing the torch: Another year of students learning from the Harrisville Harbor rain garden! This year's environmental science class officially adopted the project and the students are ready to keep it growing.
Working alongside our fantastic community partner from NEMIGLSI, students recently dove into real-world science by learning crucial water quality and testing methods. The outdoor classroom continued with expert help from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who taught students all about local pollinators and explained the fascinating history of the rain garden itself. Science teacher Mrs. Luce-Wilson then led the students through an ecosystems audit, and had students collect data that will be the foundation for upcoming studies, both at the harbor and in our own school forest.
By learning from local experts and exploring our environment, our students got a hands-in-the-dirt experience that will be their base for future studies. Keep up the good work and, as always, stay curious! #alconaschools #placebasededucation #harrisvilleharbor

A huge shoutout to our incredible high school students who swapped their science notebooks for trash pickers, as they hit the road for our bi-yearly Adopt-a-Highway cleanup. We are proud of your dedication, collaboration, and commitment to community service. Being an Alcona Tiger means taking responsibility and leading by example. To all that participated, on school grounds or on the highway, thank you for your hard work and for making a real difference. #alconaschools #adoptahighway #thankyou
