They were able to ask Congresswoman Pingree about her career as a legislator, about being a female in Congress, about the biggest priority for Congress going forward (as she sees it), about her vision for America's responsibility in the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and more!

Ecology club is getting ready for spring under the direction of Annie White. We started some seeds this week and students will take care of these indoors for the next 6-8 weeks until they are ready for the garden! Stay tuned for our upcoming plant sale- we'd love to see you stop by and take some seedlings home for your own garden!
