Happy Earth Day Week
This week, environmental science students celebrated their appreciation for Earth and natural resources by sharing wildflower seeds with their teachers and peers. Their theme for this year's celebration was - for the love of nature - Participants were asked to share their favorite outdoor activities on the bulletin board, and in return received seeds. Spreading those will support our local ecosystem, as wildflowers provide seeds, nectar, pollen, and a source of food and life for pollinators and other wildlife. Enjoy spreading the love for nature Alcona!

8th graders went to Negwegon State Park on April 25th to study wetland soils and plant/tree biodiversity. Students conducted vegetation surveys, identification, and statistical analysis of specific wetland habitats. Students also completed soil studies to better understand wetland soils and how they act as the kidneys of watersheds.

We need your help! The Alcona High School Knowledge Bowl Team will be doing a presentation with the traveling WBKB Knowledge Bowl Championship Trophy at the May 8th Board of Education Meeting.
