Evans County Charter School System

CMS STEM classes enjoyed decorating one of the school hallways with a nature theme for the Wildlife Essay Contest! The class incorporated the novel “Hatchet” with their essays to learn more about wildlife and the conservation of habitats. Students have learned about rabbit species in our state, turkey populations, CWD in deer and much more! They finished off the week-long unit with archery tag in the gym, made possible by Georgia Southern University Shooting Sports Education Center. #4Cs #projectbasedlearning #BeABigShot
