This week, we welcomed the month of June, and have begun the countdown to a long awaited summer. Courses are coming to a close, finals are approaching, and the Mane Street Mirror has some great content to ease the way.

Marine Science and friends went to the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk. Students made enrichment objects that were placed into the habitats of different animals and watched how the animals interacted with what they made. The seals, otters, and sea turtles were the most excited for enrichment. We tried to make the enrichment like a puzzle and attempted to imitate the natural environment when possible (the greens were arranged like seagrasses and kelp would be for the sea turtles for example). Most designs were a combination of food and toys.
In Mr. Hair’s PE-1 and competitive PE class we focused on mini games of spike ball, volleyball, and floor hockey. Great work everyone!
Golf
The Foran Golf team was well represented by Mia Coppola and Kaitlin Dobkowski at the Girls SCC Golf Tournament. Both Foran athletes had impressive outings.
