Students from Stuart Island School live and go to school on an island in the San Juan islands in Washington.

Their school is a one-room school house that has been in use for 100 years! They are part of the San Juan School District. However, because it is dangerous to travel over water to the nearest town, they have their own school on the island.

In December these 2 students and their teacher planted 50 Red Emperor tulips for their first Journey North tulip garden investigation.

"We have no electricity on the island. Just in the last year and a half we got an internet connection at school.  It is quite an unusual one though. We had to have our own 'repeater' put up on a near-by hill.  The signal then bounces off another repeater on another island which ultimately gets us to a service provider. It works quite well."
