Rick Glassman Visit

Students were given the treat of having Mr. Rick Glassman, Environmental Education Coordinator, come to Horizon and inform students about things about the environment to enhance their Scientific learning. The students always look forward to seeing Mr. Glassman and the humorous way he introduces scientific concepts. 

Kindergarten students were introduce to “Jethro”, a character of Mr. Glassman’s creation.
