Come, my spade. There is no ancient gentleman but gardeners, ditchers, and grave-makers

Parents and students worked together to begin the digging in and reinforcing of the aquaponics systems.  They dug two 4' x 4' x 3 deep holes for the 1000-liter fish tanks.
Next will be cutting down and reinforcing the tables for the clay pellet trays and building the enclosure.

The bat houses are in place!  The bat houses that the Science Club constructed last year have been mounted.  Thanks to Mr. Goss who made an awesome pole extension and bracket system so that the houses could be 15 feet above the ground.

Science Club will monitor the bat houses with the hope that bats will roost in them in the Spring.
