My Project
My students do not have many opportunities to discover new things in nature and so I have started a metal detecting club. We are looking to excavate the grounds surrounding our school.
We plan to use metal detectors, shovels, and other materials to grid out the site, excavate the land, record our findings, and create an exhibit for the school and community of what we have found.
We will use the metal detectors and pin-pointers to find materials and shovels to uncover our treasures.
We will reveal our progress and findings and via instagram. Stay tuned!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
