CHICO, Calif. - Three 6th graders from Nord Country School broke ground on their garden project at the Enloe Medical Center Wednesday morning.
The pandemic shot down hopes for a science fair, but these kids were up for the challenge their independent study teacher, Falyn Beshwate presented to them.
Beshwate based this project after the popular Lexus Eco Challenge, but with the only prize being developing new skills and the success of the student’s teamwork.

MANCHESTER, Mo. He grabs science with his bare hands. A teacher who catches opossums, snakes and armadillos so his students can get a closer look.
If Russ Barton can’t catch the animal, he calls them.
“I can call raptors in, pretty reliably and I can do a pretty decent coyote howl. Usually, I can get coyotes angry in the distance if it’s the right time of year. Once you get one pack going, the packs next to them will go, because it’s a territorial display,” Barton said.
