Moriches News
Fifth-grade students in Ms. Briana Ferguson’s class at Moriches Elementary School recently participated in a Zoom call with Dr. Kevin Bonine, a renowned professor and director of the Arizona Institute for Resilience at the University of Arizona, who has conducted extensive research on Gila monsters. These creatures, a species of venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, are slow-moving reptiles that can grow up to 56 centimeters long and are the only venomous lizards native to the United States.
Jeremy Pelaez, a fifth-grade student in Sandra Bretton’s art class at the William Floyd Learning Center, was recently selected as a second-place winner in the inaugural “Brookhaven Recycles” poster contest! For his efforts, Jeremy received a framed copy of his poster and a certificate congratulating him on this accomplishment.
