Penguins in Australia!

Who knew Penguins flourished in Australia?  SWW Penguins certainly did!  Welcome back Walls students from their FABULOUS trip to Sydney and Cairns where SCUBA diving and snorkeling on The Great Barrier Reef to witness up close the effects of Climate Change on the fragile marine ecosystem was just one objective of this "bucket list" trip for the past week and a half!  HUGE thanks to Walls Physics teacher, Hannah McLaurin, for her months of hard work in organizing every aspect of the trip's events and details, and thanks also to Crystal Pace and Art Klawender as Walls teacher chaperones, as well as Esther - "Addison's mom" - who also accompanied as a parent chaperone!  The happy travelers were welcomed back at Dulles last Thursday morning, Feb. 20, at 12:00 midnight, and posed for this group picture with a hearty "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!" cheer!  Welcome back Aussie Penguins!
