Lomax Elementary Magnet School

Maritime Archaeologist Josie Ketten came all the way from Tallahassee FL to visit our Lego Robotics team Lo-Bots. She brought with her many tools and amazing artifacts to teach the students the importance of Archaeology and its many contributions to the learning of human history. In the process they got to build and try out an awesome metal detector. Thank you Josie Ketten for coming to Lomax. We loved having you visit!
