Congratulations Officer Borowy on your retirement. You have made a difference in the many lives you have touched. You will be missed!
The Junior Biology Society learned lab procedures for growing bacteria samples on agar agar. The young scientists went on a mission around the school to swab surfaces that they thought might harbor bacteria. They then rubbed the sample swab on agar in a Petri dish. At their next meeting, they will view their bacteria cultures under microscopes.
Our IMS Builders Club was featured this morning on PBS NewsDepth for our work with Hurricane Ian! Michael Edelman met with our crew before Christmas to meet and interview the students. #iPride
