Thank you to the Class of 2025 for their class gift.  This STEAM project located along The Beat is of Georgia's state butterfly - the Tiger Swallowtail.  Located on the playground fence, the interactive banner is low enough for students to stand in front and become the head, thorax, and abdomen of the butterfly.

Need a "summer school" project?  Encourage your child to curate a collection or exhibit for the OGE Mini-Museum.   It could also be a group effort or done with siblings.  Click the Mini-Museum button to learn more.

Check out the manatee cam
​at Blue Springs State Park!

Manatees gravitate towards the warm waters of Florida's springs, a behavior crucial for their survival. As they forage for seagrass, their primary food source, the colder weather necessitates seeking out sanctuaries like Blue Spring, where the water remains around 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
