PMS 5th Graders Explore Nature at Conservation Day at Howard Stafford Park

(4/27): Last week, fifth-grade students from Pontotoc Middle School took learning beyond the classroom with a field trip to Howard Stafford Park. The outdoor experience gave students a hands-on opportunity to connect with nature and deepen their understanding of the environment.
A special thanks goes to the Mississippi State University Extension Service and surrounding county extension offices, who played a key role in organizing and leading the day’s activities. Their efforts helped spark curiosity and inspire a love of learning among students.
While at the park, students explored 14 different environmental stations, each focused on topics such as conservation, natural resources, and sustainability. The interactive lessons gave students a better understanding of how to care for and protect the world around them.
The trip was both educational and memorable, leaving students with new knowledge and a greater appreciation for the environment.
