March is National Women’s Month. Being one myself, I am mindful of the courageous women who laid it all on the line so that we would have the same rights as men. It took a century, but our rights aren’t guaranteed.

Sacred Heart Catholic School students spent a full day immersed in hands‑on learning at Navarino Nature Center, engaging in outdoor exploration that strengthened their academic skills, teamwork and appreciation for the outdoors.

Throughout the visit, students participated in a variety of interactive activities designed to connect classroom learning with real‑world experiences, including:

I take Merlin with me on my walks these days to help me identify the early spring migrants that are finding their way back to Wisconsin. Merlin, a free birding app available from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, like the magician of old, works its magic by helping to identify birds you are seeing or hearing.
