Middle School
Marine Aquatic Resource Education (M.A.R.E.)
The 6th grade MARE curriculum includes themes of sharks, geology, adaptation, and resource management.
Isolated from the mainland, islands can be considered living laboratories for evolution. Competition for limited resources can result in unique (and often endangered) species. Islands can also be resting and breeding places for birds and pinnipeds.
Parent Partners
The MARE Program is a school-wide celebration of our marine environment. Students, teachers, administrators and parents work together to transform an entire school into a laboratory for the discovery and exploration of the ocean. To compliment and extend learning beyond the classroom, the MARE curriculum has a broad selection of home-based, Parent Partner activities.
Your students will bring home their overflowing enthusiasm and new-found interest in the ocean and the creatures that live there. Parents can share their skills and resources both at home and at school to help students extend and apply the knowledge they gain throughout the program.
