🔬✨ Students at Clear Lake Elementary School had an exciting, hands-on learning experience this week as the Pacific Science Center staff rolled in with interactive activities that made math, science, and problem-solving fun and engaging. 🔬✨
From puzzles and patterns to probability, spatial reasoning, and real-world applications, students explored how science and math connect to everyday life through interactive exhibits and classroom workshops designed to spark curiosity and critical thinking. Learning wasn’t just something they watched—it was something they did.
Thank you to the parent groups who helped make this memorable experience possible and to our Clear Lake students for bringing their curiosity and enthusiasm!

Students at Lyman Elementary are getting a close-up look at science in action through a salmon hatchery project right at school. With support from Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group, a tank and salmon eggs were installed after winter break, and Mr. Swanson is leading the project with students.
Each day, students are observing and documenting the changes the salmon go through. The eggs are expected to hatch this week, and in early March—once they reach the smolt stage—the salmon will be released into a local stream with help from the enhancement group.
Hands-on learning, local partnerships, and real-world science all in one project! 🌱🐟

The story follows junior Leo Borlock, whose world is turned upside down when a new student—Stargirl—arrives at school. Kind, eccentric, and unapologetically herself, Stargirl challenges the unspoken rules of conformity and forces Leo to confront a difficult choice: blend in with his peers or embrace individuality and authenticity. The play explores themes of kindness, courage, and what it truly means to belong.
