  • This weekend (May 11/12, 2013), the Arlington Arts Center and Baltimore-based artist Doug Retzler, in collaboration with Arlington Public Art, will begin building the skeleton of what will eventually become the Gourd Palace. The winning design for AAC’s Gourd Palace was inspired from a model made by HBW 6th grader Chloe Fugle. Retzler’s vision for the Gourd Palace is to create a living sculpture that illustrates our connection to nature and the important place it has in the lives of children and adults alike, particularly in an urban environment.Through community involvement, the Gourd Palace will serve as a common meeting place for both neighbors and visitors of this Arlington neighborhood. It will be a place to share stories, relax to music in the cool shade, and partake in workshops related to agriculture and environmental stewardship. Follow the progress at the Arlington Arts Center’s web site: http://www.arlingtonartscenter.org/blog/imagining-the-gourd-palace/

  • 2013 Earth Force

    HBW's 6th grade Earth Force students won 2nd place at the Caring For Our Watersheds competition April 24 for their inspired project "There's Something Fishy About the Frankenfish," or as it's commonly called the Northern Snakehead. For their project they researched this invasive species and it's fishing regulations, learned to cook and eat Snakehead from a chef in Annapolis, went fishing for Snakehead on the Potomac River and created a recipe book that they're going to hand out to local fishermen.Pictured are (L-R): Calla Ritland, Ben Gross, Alex Jones, Chloe Fugle and Molly George. Not pictured: Brooke Tanner, Raven Welch, Alex Keuerleber, Taylor Young, Grace Goldman, Clare McElhaney. Many thanks go to the parents of these students for their outstanding support. Students hope that parents who fish will try some of the recipes that can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/frankenfishrecipes
