This week, fourth-grade students from B. Everett Jordan, Highland, and Haw River Elementary are on the trails, thanks to Haw River Assembly. They have an opportunity to observe insects, birds, many species of plant life, and anything else that happens to be along the trail or riverbanks. Local experts lead groups in pottery, art, lessons on runoff and river ecosystems, identifying animals by their characteristics, and much more. The day concludes with a lunch and performance from Paperhand Puppet Intervention! #ABSSCommunity #HawRiver #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
