Teton Science School grades 6-8
For the past few summers a group of MCMS students have traveled to Jackson, Wyoming to study at the Teton Science School.
Students spend the day rotating through five different stations at Lancaster County Central Park. Each team consists of five students that answer questions about birds, mammals, trees and plants, and backyard conservation.
