A large group of 80 adults poses together on tiered risers in a school auditorium or multipurpose room for a faculty photo. The group is arranged in several rows, with some adults seated in the front and others standing behind them. Most individuals wear matching dark shirts paired with jeans or pants. The setting includes a stage with wooden flooring, a school emblem displayed on the back wall, and American and Georgia flags positioned on either side of the room. The group faces forward toward the camera in a formal group arrangement.
Students in third, fourth, and fifth grades added painted rocks to the woodchips on the playground to act as deterrents. The goal in painting the rocks in art class and adding them to the playground is to prevent killdeer birds from nesting on the playground. Killdeer use the woodchips to camouflage themselves as the woodchips are the same color as the back of the birds. This adaptation is how the killdeer birds themselves while they are nesting.

Two elementary students place painted rocks along the edge of a playground covered in wood chips. One student wears a gray sweatshirt, and the other wears a bright red outfit with a white crossbody bag. Colorfully decorated rocks are visible near their hands as they set them beside a wooden border. Playground equipment, including climbing structures and swings, stands in the background in front of a brick school building under a clear blue sky.
Our Fundraiser is on the last two days, and we need your help to reach our goal. Every purchase helps us get closer to our goal of raising $20,000 to upgrade our playground. Thank you to our PTCO for their hard work and support of our goals.
