Special Memories
I have really enjoyed all of my science classes I’ve taken throughout these past four years. Mrs. Gifford’s Biology class inspired my interest in learning about the environment. I spent a week studying tadpoles in my pond and had a lot of fun. This year in Mr. Butz’s Environmental class I’ve continued to enjoy studying water quality on the floating classroom and our awesome trips to the beautiful Battenkill. Thank you for these challenges and great memories!

Special Memories
When my 5th grade class was participating in field day, Mrs. McKeighan, my teacher at the time, dove for an egg during the egg toss, securing the overall win for our class that year.
AP Biology last year with Mrs. Gifford was very engaging and I made many special memories. From funny class quotes, to conducting our own self-designed experiments at the end of the year, it was an extremely fun environment to be in.
