Carrollton Junior High School Assistant Principal Katie Holley and Principal Travis Thomaston dressed up as part of an interactive lesson for seventh-grade science students on biomes.

Touring biomes at CJHS

This week, seventh-grade science students went on a tour of biomes where they learned about climate, location, plants, animals, and adaptations. The curriculum they learned went into their "passports" and they received a biome-related snack before hiking to their next adventure. CJHS Assistant Principal Katie Holley and Principal Travis Thomaston even joined in on the fun by dressing as a zebra and lion!
