Climate Change Teach-In

Today, we are finishing up a four day teach-in surrounding the topic of Climate Change. A whirlwind of activity has swept through the school over these days. Some student highlights include:
*discussing science, effects, policy and energy with core teachers,
*walking to the Bagdad to watch the NOVA Extreme Ice (see post below for link)video,
*listening to Gary Braasch, author of How we Know What we Know About our Changing climate present at morning meeting
*hearing Vinh Mason describe Portland's climate goals
*attending break-out sessions. On Thursday, 18 different sessions were taking place throughout the building.

Whew, it has been a fun week so far.
