Envirothon Victory!

Jake's Envirothon Team, the Environmentalists, ranked as gold medalists - earning them a blue ribbon in this year's York County Envirothon this past Tuesday. Jake and his team have been studying most of the school year to compete against other 3rd and 4th graders in York County.

The Envirothon is a nationwide program that encourages our kids to learn more about our natural environment through competitive events. Senior High Envirothons are held throughout North America and Canada. York County is one of the few places to offer the Envirothon competitions beginning in the third grade.
