As the school year comes to a close we had the pleasure of hosting all of Brundrett Middle School students from Port Aransas in a Water Awareness Day. The event featured eight stations each with a special learning point about the local watershed, rivers, bays, and coastal oceans.

The model activity was part of a presentation from the Nueces River Authority. Middle right: Texas Master Naturalist, Cindy Frank discusses Mustang Island Wildlife.
