Students at Mabry have been hard at work the last few months conducting experiments and going through the scientific method. Now it's time to show off all that hard work!
Join us Tues. Dec. 6 from 7:30-8 am or 2:15-3pm to come view journals students used to document their findings during their investigations.
3-5 grade journals will be located in the Media Center and K-2 will have their boards outside their respective classrooms.
A huge thanks to all the teachers for their hard work and for the continued support from Mabry families. It's activities like this that made Mabry students first in the district for science!!
