The Global Ecology House seniors would like to extend a big THANK
YOU to all our Community Sponsors. None of this would be possible
without your support. We cannot thank you enough for stepping in and
working with the PHS Global Ecology students. Your participation has
not only raised the standard of the projects themselves, but you have
helped our students to see that the work they are doing is valued.
An awards ceremony will be held at the Bethesda Chevy Chase Chapter of the
Izaak Walton League lodge on May 19th at 7 p.m. Community organizations will
be handing out awards for Senior projects. We would like to extend an invitation to
all Seniors, their families and sponsors to attend the awards ceremony .

results of his or her project. We invite you to come see these project posters, roam the
exhibits, watch the short student-produced environmental documentary films and
engage with those students whose projects are of particular interest to you.
