πŸ’™ Making a Difference for Manatees! πŸ’™

This year, our AVID 6th and 7th grade students participated in an Everglades Action Project focused on protecting manatees and reducing human impacts on their habitat.

Students created educational placemats and brochures to help spread awareness about simple ways we can all keep manatees safe. They also developed Manatee Protection Pledges for both children and adults, with QR codes making it easy for community members and visitors to get involved.

So far, 134 pledges have been signed! πŸŽ‰

You can join them! Scan the QR code in the photo below to sign the pledge and help protect manatees for future generations.

A special thank you to Vital Signs for supporting KLS by generously donating the printing of our brochures. We are so proud of our students for turning their learning into action and making a positive impact in our community!πŸŒŽπŸ’š
