Thanks for your support!

We had a great time celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness month and some survivors at Hellstern! Students had a "pink out" on Thursday and raised $377 for METAvivor on Friday's Hat Day.

Visit with an Entomologist

Click here to read about this visit and see some pictures. Last week a primetime group of 30 interviewed Internationally Awarded Entomologist, working with invasive species, Dr. Carey Minteer from the University of Florida. Dr. Minteer is also a former Razorback!
She took students on a tour of the entomology lab, the "bug" rooms, and offices; shared with them about her use of special insects to help respond to invasive species of plants, showed them some break-dancing beetles, and answered all of their bug and education related questions.
It was FABULOUS!
