As winners of this year’s Hurricane Bowl, the PHS Fish Fighters were treated to a snorkeling trip to St. Andrews State Park in Florida during the weekend of May 3^rd. While the weather was a bit cold for snorkeling, the brave members of the Fish Fighters entered the waters anyway. The Fish Fighters were delighted to find numerous species of fish, mollusks, jellies, and other marine creatures there to greet them. The second place team, Ocean Springs, joined the Fish Fighters for the weekend in Florida which was hosted by the Gulf Coast Research Lab. In addition to snorkeling at St. Andrews State Park, the Fish Fighters and the Ocean Springs team explored the grass beds at St Joseph Peninsula State Park and enjoyed the animals and shows at Gulf World Marine Park. Thanks to the scientists of USM’s Gulf Coast Research Lab and our friends from Ocean Springs High School. Pictured above are members of the Ocean Springs Ocean Bowl team along with staff members of GCRL and the Fish Fighters.

Principal Leah Stevens suggested to the special teachers that they take an active part in reviewing academic subject matter with their students, in order to better prepare the students for their MCT tests coming up in May.  The Middle School’s Performing Art classes are doing just that.  On Tuesday, the classes acted out Language Arts’ skits and wrote mnemonics when reviewing the parts of speech; On Wednesday, the students performed improv History skits pertaining to the Industrial Revolution.  On Thursday, the students  worked with partners in writing and performing Science skits pertaining to Metamorphosis.  On Friday, the students worked on the floor with Math manipulatives to review place value.  The picture shows 7th grade students working with the Math manipulatives.

Mrs. Burge’s Anatomy class dissected sheep brains on Wednesday, May 1. Students learned about the similarities and difference between human and sheep brains before donning gloves, goggles, and aprons. After finding everything on their worksheet, groups were quizzed on the location of some of the parts of the brain. Seen in the pictures are some of the students in their lab gear at the beginning of the project and hard at work dissecting the brain.
