Fifth grade students in River Eves Elementary School talented and gifted (TAG) program recently concluded their study of Georgia’s Golden Coast by dissecting starfish, perch and squid, according to a school press release.

All of these special creatures live in the oceans near our Georgia coast and the students had a fantastic—and challenging—time trying to discover the different parts of the creatures and what makes them work. They found that some of the circulatory systems and other parts were quite different than a human.

River Eves Elementary is located at 9000 Eves Road in Roswell. The school has earned numerous accolades, including the Reward School Title for Highest-Performing Title I School in 2012 (top 5 percent). River Eves was the only elementary school in Fulton County to receive this award.
