Don’t toss your pumpkins — compost them!

Dowdell is collecting pumpkins for composting — so you don’t have to throw them away!

We’ll have bins out front where you can drop off clean pumpkins (no paint, glitter, candles, or plastic).

Just toss them in — we’ll take care of the rest.

Let’s GO W.I.L.D. and turn our waste into nutrient-rich soil for our campus garden!

Special Guests at Dowdell’s Environmental Magnet Class!

This week, our Environmental Magnet students had a wonderful visit from the Florida Aquarium Outreach Team! Ms. Diana brought along three incredible animal ambassadors for a hands-on learning experience:

Major Jack – a Gulf Coast Box Turtle with a big personality
Sully – a curious Skink
Echo – a fascinating Hognose Snake known for their mimicking behaviors

Students learned about each animal’s habitat, adaptations, and role in our local ecosystems. Experiences like this bring our learning to life and inspire future environmental stewards!
