On Monday, March 3^rd, the Northern Neck Audubon Society will present a program about the Chesapeake Bay Governor�s School for Marine and Environmental Sciences.  

The Chesapeake Bay Governor�s School provides high ability students from the Northern Neck and the Middle Peninsula with a rigorous curriculum through enrichment, exploratory, investigative, and career awareness experiences.  Through the integration of math, science, technology, and research, woven with marine and environmental sciences, students have the opportunity to foster an appreciation and respect for environmental issues.  Sherry Pettyjohn will talk about the program of studies and will describe how the students are selected for this Governor�s School.  Pettyjohn, who did her undergraduate studies at Colby College in Maine and her graduate studies at Seton Hall in New Jersey, has taught biology and chemistry at the Governor�s school for eight years.  Sarah Beam and Martha Kent, school staff members, will also be at the meeting to answer questions about the school.  

The program, open to all, will be held at 7:00 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock.  Attendees are invited for refreshments after the program.
