🐟 Science Comes to Life at Salmon Watch! 🌊
Our 2nd and 3rd graders spent a day at McGregor Park learning about salmon and the health of our local rivers—and they got to be scientists along the way!
Students:
🔬 Examined salmon anatomy and learned what each part does
💧 Tested water quality, including dissolved oxygen and temperature
🦋 Waded into the creek with D-nets to collect macroinvertebrates
🔎 Used identification keys to investigate what they found
Through hands-on investigation, students learned how the creatures living in a river can tell us about its health—and what salmon need to survive.
Nothing beats learning science in the river itself! 💦🐟

🐉 Helman Dragons are back in school! 🐉
Yesterday was a fun and fast-paced first day! Students brought in their school supplies, jumped into first-day games, and wrapped up the day with our traditional family picnic on the lawn.
Our Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent also stopped by campus to visit with students and staff—and even took a quick moment to pose with our awesome principal, Susan Hollandsworth!
Let's make it a spectacular school year -- It’s a great day to be a Dragon! ❤️🐉
