JOSEPHINE
Josephine, a Bass alumni, got creative a painted a set of cornhole boards, so she and her friends could enjoy some outdoor fun! She raised monarch caterpillars to adulthood, releasing them once grown, volunteered with her brother’s Scout troop, and took the class to obtain her Hunter’s Safety certificate. Josephine also participated in the Academy’s student-driven fundraiser, Pay It Forward!
CADE
Cade, a Bass alumni, spent much of his time actively involved with the local animals. He participated in a job shadowing event with the PA Game Commission, where he was able to learn to track bear prints, assisted an injured duck, getting in to a local wildlife rehabber, and used a net tool of his own design to catch and inspect macroinvertebrates in his local stream to assess stream health. Cade also taught about the importance of using natural fertilizers at a local equestrian school, and even had time to get a little creative, submitting his drawing of a rainbow trout.

She creating beautiful digital art of birds as well, and talked turkey by writing an article for the National Wild Turkey Federation’s newsletter.
