From Country Meadows ...

During a visit to Country Meadows this week, it was awesome to see a student dissect a flower ~ a lovely red tulip ~ to detail the parts of it.  Students are also at work on newspaper articles, one of which stemmed from an interview with the new school Principal Mrs. Garlick.
