Dear Manatee School of Arts and Sciences Families,

Thank you to all of our families who joined us for our special event with Mote last night! It was wonderful to see so many of our students and families come together to engage in such a fun and meaningful learning experience.

Our Artemis II crew will be going around the Moon, but they'll always find their way back home 🌎

During this complex journey, the four astronauts will travel ~685,000 miles on a trajectory around the Moon and back to Earth.

Tonight marks an exciting moment in space exploration with the launch of Artemis II! This mission is especially significant because it will be the first crewed mission to travel around the Moon in over 50 years

Killdeer Egg Update. It looks like momma Killdeer will soon have some hatchlings.

[Manatee School of Arts and Sciences (MSAS) @MSASGeckos]

A few days ago we discovered a new visitor/friend here at MSAS. They felt so comfortable that they decided to make their home here for a bit.

We think that we have identified them as a Killdeer based on coloration, egg pattern, and behavior.
