Teacher Judy Gibson noted the low water/ice level at the vernal pool this winter. In one spot,which receives the most sun, there was open water. Most unusual for January!  

The Francis Parker Charter School contributes to both the Vernal Pool and the Our Changing Forests Schoolyard Ecology studies.
