Eighth grade students at Syringa Middle School recently returned from Tampa, Florida for the Habitat H2O Science Fieldwork Experience. This is the 8th year in a row students have been able to explore science in the Sunshine State.
Over 30 students and parents joined Dr. Melyssa Ferro and Mr. Mitch Dame for a week packed with science, sunshine, and unforgettable adventures. Students had the opportunity to learn how to kayak, snorkel, feed giraffes, and study with University of South Florida scientists.
"It truly was the trip of a lifetime, packed with hands-on learning, wild encounters, and memories to last forever," said Dr. Ferro.
Students and staff are exhausted but inspired, and their brains are full of science. Thank you to all the families who supported this amazing journey and to the awesome science team for making this experience possible year after year!
