The Learning Center Charter SchoolCampus Happenings
Many of our upper grades students traveled to the beaches of North Carolina. The students who stayed at home also went to the waterfront, but the water was not the ocean but the rivers and lakes of Cherokee County. Students spent a day studying the water chemistry and benthic invertebrates of the Valley and Hiwassee Rivers. They studied a bit of history about the TVA and traveled to Hiwassee Dam. Ms. Julie helped all the students and teachers to make face mugs on a rainy morning. They learned about riparian areas along the Valley and Hiwassee Rivers, and learned some of the invasive species that can be seen on the Riverwalk. The Hiwassee Valley Wellness Center has some fun water: the swimming pool. They wrapped up the week with a day of fishing, floating and swimming at Fires Creek.
