Recently, GA Admissions is collaboration with the lower school sponsored a Preserve Tour for area preschools. Students and families toured the Preserve, finding cattails and exploring our unique habitat for birds, frogs and insects. They concluded their experience by participating in an art activity led by art teacher Alia Tahvildaran and constructed an edible wetland snack while hearing a story about wetlands from lower school science teacher, Lisa Martin.
