One More Time!!!

After winning multiple local, regional, and state championships -- The Arlington Lions Envirothon Team won the NATIONAL title yesterday in Fresno, California where the 2010 Canon International Envirothon Contest was held on the CSU Fresno campus (and environs).  The competition is the largest high school environmental science competition in North America with typically 500,000 students being involved.  The Arlington HS team won 1st in Soils and 1st Overall.

These student winners not only won recognition for themselves and their high school, but also substantial  scholarship / cash awards to support their further study and collegiate journey.

The team also has been supportive of their  fellow students and the community.  Most recently, they spent the day at Longfellow Elementary assisting with the Space Day by providing elementary students with environmental science activities and lessons to complement the space and engineering fare.

Congratulations to Arlington High School and especially their Envirothon team led by Ms. Shari Harris, science teacher at Arlington.
