travels for an amazing science opportunity! |
Biology Teacher Jenn Webb returned from her educational travels to the Galapagos
Islands! She brought back stories of huge sea turtles and marine iguanas. Ms. Webb
was personally selected by a professor at Mount Saint Joseph College to travel to the
Galapagos Islands. Although it was an unexpected personal expense, she couldn’t resist
the opportunity to travel to one of the most respected sites in Biological Research. She
was able to bring back personal knowledge and experiences to share with her students.
Having first hand knowledge and experience of the Galapagos links our own Ms. Webb
with the likes of Charles Darwin himself! We in the science department would like to thank
Ms. Webb for taking the time and absorbing the personal expense in order to be a better
science educator! Way to go Ms. Webb!
