Students enrolled in Troy University’s Summer Spectacular show off the 13-foot snake they designed and decorated. The youngsters, ages 4 to 11, are learning about everything from zoology to astronomy and geology during the 4-week summer program at Kelly Springs Elementary in Dothan. Classes are taught by Early Childhood and Elementary Education majors attending the Dothan Campus.
