McNary Dam was a laboratory of learning
Thursday as students from McNary Heights Ele-
mentary School celebrated the Earth.
Offi cially, Earth Day was April 22, but the
school held its annual celebration Thursday.
Classes of students in matching T-shirts fol-
lowed their teachers around the dam and its expan-
sive park system, learning about different parts of
the ecosystem. They planted seeds, learned new
vocabulary through a scavenger hunt, checked out
real birds of prey and played games to help under-
stand concepts such as predators and deforestation.
