I AM GOING TO BE A TEACHER RANGER!!!!!



This is the most EXCITING NEWS!!!  I have been selected to be a part of the National Parks Teacher to Ranger to Teacher program at the Petrified Forest National Monument.  For 8 weeks over the whole summer I will have Ranger and Teacher duties to interact with the community, visitors and the ecosystem in Northeast Arizona.

There's me in my uniform!  Not too shabby... what will you be doing this summer?  I will be digging up dinosaur fossils, taking visitors on tours, making camp fires and telling stories about the Natives that used to live there, hiking the sedimentary geology and the desert ecosystem!!!!

Nature Discovery Center Field Trip

Westwood 7th grade students had an amazing experience at the Nature Discovery Center at Circle B a few weeks ago.  We saw 12 ft (4m) alligators basking in the Spring sun, thousands of birds diving for their meals, bobcat scat (poop!), an eagle's nest, and beautiful, graceful, old oak trees!  It was exciting and never a dull moment!
