🌿🔍 Our Downtown Campus Nature Club became little explorers this week! With magnifying glasses in hand, students investigated plants, rocks, snail shells, tree bark, and more—right on our playground. They also spotted signs of spring, like budding trees and new growth. A wonderful way to connect with nature and discover the beauty all around us! 🌸🍃
