Through hands-on study of biology, culture, and current events, students discover the unique adaptations of plants and animals, explore how humans have relied on these resources throughout history, and confront the challenges posed by biodiversity loss to human health.
As African naturalist Baba Dioum reminds us: “In the end, we will only conserve what we love. We will only love what we understand. We will only understand what we are taught.”
This year, the program is available for 8th grade students only. There are 36 spots, and participants will be selected by lottery.

We’re also excited to announce a front parking space raffle fundraiser to support the purchase of a new Titan mascot costume.
Thank you for your continued support in making these events memorable for our students and families.
We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize health and safety. With cold, flu, and other seasonal bugs going around, let’s all take extra care—wash hands often, cover coughs and sneezes, and look out for one another. 💙
Skip the car line!
We’re excited to launch our Titan Front Row Fundraiser—a quarterly raffle for premium afternoon pickup spots. Winners will bypass the regular car line and enjoy front-row access in the staff/student lot facing Lionel Street. It’s a fun way to support our school while giving families a smoother pickup experience.
Funds raised will go directly toward school spirit initiatives, including a new Titan mascot costume, and Student of the Quarter gifts. These efforts help us celebrate our students in meaningful ways throughout the year. Be on the lookout for more information coming home with students.
