Alcona Cross Country competed this morning in Boyne Falls at the 18th Annual Logger Invitational. Darren Boyat ran a time of 21:42, finishing 18th, while Cole Upper ran a 20:26 and finished 13th overall. Both boys earned medals. The next race is the first North Star League Meet of the season, which will be held in Hale on Tuesday, September 17.
The third class to inherit Alcona's rain garden study site at the Harrisville Harbor is the Alcona marine biology class. This project has been growing and developing since its inception. Three years ago, Alcona's environmental science students had the idea to implement a rain garden to filter pollutants before entering our beautiful Lake Huron, and a few years into the project, our native species planted long ago are thriving, filtering impurities, and beautifying our local harbor.
The project is in constant flux, and this year's class is ready with new ideas. During their field trip, students participated in a harbor tour, to get to know their study site, met community partners, maintained the garden, and worked in teams to test water quality (pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and turbidity).
We can not wait to see where this year's class takes this project, and we are happy to be off to a great start.
