Sumner Academy has long benefited from varied and enriching programs from the Natural History Education Company of the Mid South (NHECM). Each year, NHECM presents varied information that reinforces concepts taught in Science classes and introduces new material, too. 

This year's show was entitled "Beneficial Beasts," and it did not disappoint. Students were surprised to learn how the environment and people alike benefit from diverse creatures. From bats to hawks, from snakes to rabbits, students were exposed to a rich variety of creatures.
