🔬 Science Superstars Take on HudsonAlpha! 🧪

Yesterday was a SUPER day for Mrs. Howard’s Science Superstars! Students who scored Proficient on the 2026 Science ACAP got to celebrate their hard work with an exciting field trip to the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville!

Our students got to step inside real science labs, see where scientists do their work, and even conduct an experiment of their very own! 🧬✨

There were lots of smiles, discoveries, and hands-on learning throughout the day. It was the perfect way to celebrate our students’ AMAZING achievement and remind them that all of their hard work can open the door to exciting new adventures!

We are so proud of our Science Superstars and all they accomplished! Keep exploring, keep asking questions, and keep being curious! 🌟🔬

Preparing the next generation of educators! 📚💙
