 #EGMS From Dr. Faulkner:  This is Henry, a newly hatched painted turtle.  He was found on the sidewalk in front of the school by a seventh grader. Henry is staying in Dr. Faulkner's room until it is warm enough to let him go into the school's pond, and in the meantime the 8th grade is studying him.  Some 8th graders wanted to name him Ross for Bob Ross, the painter -- pretty clever!  But no, his name is Henry.  He said so.
