Lee Academy Named Guy Harvey Conservation School

Lee Academy has officially become a Guy Harvey Conservation School, recognizing its commitment to environmental education. The designation highlights the school's integration of marine science and conservation principles into its curriculum, connecting students to Tampa Bay's aquatic environment.

The recognition follows professional development for several Lee Academy educators, including Ms. Elisabeth, Ms. Sandra, and Ms. Sarah, who completed Guy Harvey STEAM trainings. These sessions featured hands-on activities focused on coral reef ecosystems and mangrove exploration.

Educators participated in practical learning at the Suncoast Youth Conservation Center. They kayaked through mangrove habitats and studied fiddler crabs. The teachers plan to use these real-world conservation lessons and interactive methods to engage students with local marine environments.

The Guy Harvey Conservation School program aims to equip students with knowledge and passion for protecting marine life and coastal habitats. Lee Academy's new status is expected to enhance its science programs and provide students with opportunities to connect with conservation efforts, developing environmental stewards for Tampa Bay and beyond.
