On Wednesday, April 16, the Foreign Language Club and the Astronomy Club will be visiting Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh. 

“Observing plant life from different regions reinforces geographical knowledge and cultural awareness, as many plant species are tied to specific cultural practices and traditions,” FLC club adviser Veronica Skomra said. 

The conservatory offers educational opportunities that focus on sustainability and environmental issues.

This is my second year as a reporter on the Mountain Echo staff. I love to learn new things happening within our school while also getting to share that through the stories we write. Whenever I’m not working on the newspaper, you can find me at school events and games dancing with the Lioneers. I’m looking forward to starting my junior year and making new memories.
