Thank you to our Veterans!
Our high school had their annual Veterans Day Luncheon and recognition program today. With performances by Justin Kigar, Rylan Vinson, the Symphonic Chorale, Jazz Band, a collection of great student speakers, and last but certainly not least, our guest speaker, Petty Officer Second Class Ross Wolford, it was a moving tribute to our Veterans.
Woodmore thanks you for your service!

On October 10th Woodmore High School AP Biology and CCP Biodiversity classes gathered water quality data in two locations on the Portage River.
The first location was at Ory Park in Elmore. Here we gathered data for NASA, Partners for Clean Streams, and TMACOG's Student Watershed Watch. Students will compile and digitally submit their data to each of the organizations websites:
TMACOG: https://tmacog.org/water/student-watershed-watch
NASA GLOBE: https://vis.globe.gov/GLOBE/ and https://www.globe.gov/web/woodmore-high-school
Partners for Clean Streams: https://partnersforcleanstreams.org/projects/community-water-action-in-toledo/
The second location was at Earth Heart Farms in Oak Harbor. This provided a second location and down river point of comparison. This trip coincided with EHF's Field Day sponsored by the University of Toledo. After collecting data, we were led on a nature tour of the property where many frogs and grasshoppers were caught!
Be sure to check out our Facebook page for more pictures from their trip!
