=**Footprints Through Time: Civilization's Impact on the Environment **=

Mission Statement:
Just as a footprint leaves a mark in the sand, human activities have left their mark on the sands of time. How have mankind's efforts in nation building, manufacturing, agriculture and recreation impacted the physical environment that surrounds us? What is the quality of that impact?

As an International Baccalaureate school, the team's focus will be global but with local references. Our over-arching theme will be integrated into classroom activities across the curriculum to develop greater awareness of historical perspectives as well as how individual choices can have global consequences. Skill building in math and science content areas will be taught in the framework of this theme.
