Ms. Arp’s 6th grade class at Lincoln found ways to incorporate the banana slug, a longstanding mascot of Science Camp at Jones Gulch. According to Ms. Arp, “We held a banana slug poster contest and even joined the Hard-Core Club! It was a great three-day adventure!” The ‘Hard-Core Club’ event is a tradition at Jones Gulch, with students eating an entire apple – core and all.

Sierra's Timberwolf Project
embarks in an anti-bullying campaign for schools
|
|
"Their idea was to create a series of interactive videos (in a John Quinones - What Would You Do? Style) that address various topics around bullying," explained class advisor, Hans Schmitz. "This video was completely the concept of students from start to finish."
Students contacted and partnered with teachers at feeder schools to help implement the project. This video is the first of many as part of the anti-bullying series.
Their second video to the anti-bullying campaign series released February 15th as the students celebrated kindness week. The Timberwolf Project developed activities for students to participate in and spread kindness.
Very PROUD of our Sierra High School Timberwolves- forging a pathway and acting toward a positive tomorrow.
