PGM 6th and 7th students enjoyed their End of the Year PBIS Celebration! Thanks, Recoil, for being such a wonderful community partner! 😄 #PBIS
7th grade continued their PBL investigation into slowing the spread of invasive species when the Georgia Department of Natural Resources came to shock the pond at The Grove last week! Students helped measure the length and weight of bass, bullhead catfish, and sunfish to see if they were healthy. They learned that excess vegetation in the pond (including invasives they previously researched like alligator weed and water hyacinth) is preventing fish from thriving and discussed possible ways to combat the problem. 🐟💧🌿 #STEM #CommunityPartnerships #ProblemBasedLearning #LifeScience
