NSU University School Upper School Students Mentor Lower School Students

National Science Honor Society and 5th Grade

NSU University School Upper School students have many opportunities to mentor our younger students. Members of the Science National Honor Society and the World In Distress (WIND) Club recently visited 5th grade students in our Lower School to conduct an educational program about Florida’s native plants. Following the informative presentations about the importance of our native plants, the 5th grade students had the opportunity to plant a variety of native species of their own to keep. Once their plants sprout, the students were encouraged to then plant the seedlings directly into the ground and watch them grow!

FitnessGram works to help schools evaluate and evolve their physical education programming into an education experience that supports the whole child. It is always great to see our students stay in shape and learn healthy habits at school by enjoying recess, sports, and quality physical education. We are proud of our little Sharks!
