Third grade students got real close to a few mammals of NYS…they studied their skulls to determine species and diet. Can you name that skull - bear, fox, coyote, deer and porcupine? Who has the largest canines? #naplescsd #boces4science

Students sparkled during the After School Program Arts and Crafts session weaving and decorating rainbow fish. #naplescsd#naplesafterschoolprogram
