WELCOME TO ZUMA !

ZUMA: EYE TO EYE WITH BIOLOGY

OUR RESEARCH GOALS: 1- LEARN “REAL” BIOLOGY, NOT JUST “TEXTBOOK” BIOLOGY. SEE THE CONCEPTS OF BIOLOGY WITH YOUR OWN EYES IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD. 2- DO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND WRITE A REAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER. DON’T JUST READ ABOUT IT. DO IT. 3- HAVE PRIDE. GIVE YOUR RESUME A BOOST OVER OTHER SCHOOLS.

GOAL #1

PLAN to be safe.

WALKING IS THE ONLY METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION ALLOWED

STAY ON SIDEWALK USE CROSSWALKS BE ALERT !

A red light or flashing red light means STOP. Students that enter the crosswalk on a red light are in violation of our safety policy and may be removed from the program.
