Receiving our Award

A big thank you goes out to all of the students and their moms who were able to come to the Lichterman Nature Center this afternoon to receive our certificate and $100 prize!  The prize money was donated by Dr. Theodore and Julia Wilson and will be used to buy supplies in the Think Tank.  It was wonderful to get to see all of the scarecrows together and we were amazed at the creativity used in assembling them.  I hope that many more St. Mary's families will make the trip to the Nature Center to see the scarecrows and enjoy this unique asset that we have here in our community.

Mary Wins Best School Mascot Category!

Lucy poses with "Mary" at the Lichterman.

"Mary, the Robot Rocks" won the Best School Mascot category at the Lichterman Nature Center Scarecrow Contest!  The Lower School students are so happy:)  We were also pleased to find out that she received an Honorable Mention award in the Most Creative category.  Mary, the Robot scarecrow has the possibility of earning yet another award if we all go to the Lichterman and vote for her as "most popular" over the next two months while the scarecrows are on display.  Thank you again to all who helped make this project such a success:)))

Lichterman Nature Center Scarecrow Contest

First through Fourth grade students have collaborated during several lunch recess breaks to create an amazing "recycled robot" as our entry in the Lichterman Nature Center Scarecrow Contest. "Mary, The Robot Rocks" will represent the St. Mary's Lower School Think Tank beginning Sept. 8th.  "Mary" was created from recycled items from St. Mary's and our students' homes.  We are grateful to our wonderful helpers - Mrs. Padron, Mrs. McElroy, Mrs. Carter and her cafeteria staff, and our maintenance help, Mr. David and Mr. Leith.  Please take your family and friends to check out all of the scarecrows and learn about outdoor habitats and plants at the - Lichterman Nature Center.
