Back to School!

AGW met on Wednesday, August 19th to meet with the partners and plan. Our newest partner is Lowes! Jamie Brown is the store representative met with Brenda Waterworth (Science Department Chair), Cindy Raines (HSTA), Frank Rodgers (Cacapon Institute), Jane Barvir (Girl Scouts), Ginny (DEP), and Deb Stevens (Project Manager). The group made plans to launch the education, remediation, and outreach program early in September; they planned an opening assembly for the first week of October to coincide with Musselman's homecoming festivities. Brenda has already scheduled a trip for two Honors Biology classes to train at The Mountain Institute in watershed dynamics. Buffy Wink, the environmental science teacher, has plans for her three environmental classes to create a "white-out" at MuHS. Her classes will measure and paint the roof white. Buffy plans to document the process so it can be replicated. Brenda and Deb are also taking part in a Watershed Dynamics program with West Virginia University; they plan to incorporate the AGW program into this program. The MuHS department is off to a good start!
