Later that month, Mickey and I got to attend the third Environmental Studies School class: Air and Related Issues. The class field trip to the Museum of Science and History (MOSH) was very enjoyable, so much so that my husband and I returned to the MOSH for my birthday to see some of the exhibits the class couldn't fit in during our 2-hour visit, including a display of animals found along the St. Johns River. These creatures were too wounded to be able to be returned to the wild. A Master Naturalist helped us with our questions. We got to see a large salamander shedding its skin! I'm glad I took the ESS course and returned to the MOSH! See the District 4 website for a future announcement for the fourth and last ESS course: Water and Related Issues.

Look for the August issue of the St. Johns Sun: the zika virus and how to protect yourself from the mosquitoes that can carry it. Stay cool, hydrated, and protected!
