We did it! We virtually survived #APChem. Our FHS chemists thrived in such a challenging year, and I couldn't be prouder.
Sometimes we just pick odd drawing prompts just to have a brain break. Like "your favorite food," and we have to all figure out it's chicken alfredo or mac n cheese from drawing with a mouse.
Today they chose "the weirdest teacher you've ever had."
Apparently, that's also me.
It's a great time to explore the little things in the woods. Spent the afternoon in the Monacacy NRMA and found so many great finds:
Fiddlehead ferns
Paw paw blooms
Jack-in-the-pulpit
Mayapples and more!

These students rock. Over 1 acre. 74 new trees and shrubs. 4 weekends of invasive plant removal and planting of natives in Baker Park. They have already made such a difference, and they will continue to care for this place for years.

LYNX scholars participated in a virtual Earth Day presentation with Dr. Kevin Sellner, Dr. Janet Ady, Dr. April Sparkman, and Ms. Hannah Zinnert. Scholars learned about careers and volunteerism that promote environmental sustainability. @CadetsPrincipal #OneTeamFHS

FHS LYNX scholars participated in planting wild flowers, on Tuesday, and trees, on Thursday of this week. All week scholars have participated in the #FHSEarthDayChallenge @CadetsPrincipal #OneTeamFHS
A big thank you to our Earth Science guest speaker today, Connor Bruce. We learned about severe weather risk and community impacts; super important as we manage a changing climate.
And my heart could explode after hearing my former OMHS student teach my students at FHS.
🧡🖤💛
FHS has been very busy for Earth Week, but check out the project students have been working on all month! These students have made a big difference in our community already. 🌿

Happy Earth Day! 🌏🌍🌎🙏🏿 m.youtube.com/watch?v=xwOvBv…
I know I've raved about this strategy before, but you have GOT to know the power of the One Page Wonder. This year, I was more intentional about it, and now that we are in review season for #APChemistry, I see they've already done the heavy lifting. This is gonna be fun!
Its #EarthDay2021!!!!
Recycling is good, but don't forget that Reduce and Reuse come first.

In honor of #EarthDay2021, yesterday we seeded a new "no mow" area with wildflowers next to our school stream. Tomorrow we plant the 15 new trees!😍🌳🌍

The fact that we know what the verdict SHOULD be but remain unsure of what it WILL be speaks volumes about our nation. We have work to do.

I just released the most personal video I will ever make about my son with special needs. Took us two years to feel comfortable releasing it cause he’s my only kid and this is the internet. Please watch it (link below) and consider sharing/donating. Love, Mark. #ColorTheSpectrum
FHS Eco-Services and Junior Exec were at it again this morning, working hard on our urban forest restoration in Baker Park. So far we have removed almost an acre of invasive growth and replaced with 71 native trees and shrubs. 🌳 @CadetAthletics #FHSEarthDayChallenge
