Operation Adoption!Our passionate Environmental Science students are leading the charge to protect our planet – and they’ve made an incredible impact! To support manatee conservation, they organized a bake sale with one goal in mind: adopting Ginger the manatee. Ginger, marked with scars from unfortunate run-ins with watercraft, now has a new chance at a better future thanks to these dedicated students.Not only did the bake sale raise enough to adopt Ginger, but the leftover funds will go directly toward supporting manatee conservation efforts.A huge round of applause for their hard work and commitment to our planet! #manatee #manateerescue #adoptamanatee #environmentalscience #savetheplanet #youmatterhere #topschool #greatschool #bestschool #premierschool ...
