CHICKENS IN RESIDENCE AT SACS For years the kindergarten teams have hatched chicks and duckling as part of their embryology instruction program. This year our school, and Team USA, agreed to keep some of those newly hatched chicks and raise them to adult chickens. These chickens would become permanent residents of SACS. This spring, students from USA raised the chickens and invited younger students to play with them as they grew. This batch of photos shows students from Navigators, Imagination and USA. The Stewardship committee helped support the purchase of equipment to raise and house the chickens.  Check out the pictures below.
