Floyd’s Young 5’s teacher, Carri McGuire, is a member of The Dow Sustainability Teacher Fellowship for the 24/25 school year. Through this Fellowship, she is receiving support and a mini-grant for a project she is doing to increase biodiversity on our school campus by creating a meadow with her class and other classes in the school.
Last week she used part of her mini-grant to take her class and the two kindergarten classes to Mt. Pleasant Discovery Museum. The students learned about bees and pollination. They also had time to explore all of the areas of the museum.
