Help me give my students the opportunity to learn about animals and birds through this preserved Snowy Owl. The only cost to be covered is the cost from the taxidermy.

My Students
Our school is located in west-central Minnesota. We are a rural district that is primarily a farming community with a few lakes located within our district. Each of our classes averages about 65 students.
Our students are enthusiastic about learning, especially when it pertains to the area in which they live and the factors that affect their daily lives.
If they can find a personal connection to their learning, they can retain their knowledge a lot more quickly and for a greater length of time. They love to find out how our world works and affects them.
My Project
A snowy owl was turned into our science department after being found dead on the side of the road. Our school has all the proper permits to house and preserve this protected species. The science department decided to preserve it through taxidermy so many students can benefit and learn from this owl over many decades.
This beautiful snowy owl will be used in our life science, biology, and zoology classes as students study animals and birds and their characteristics.
They will compare this bird to other animals of study using observations of its talons, wings, feet, beak, and other features. With it, they will be able to compare how birds are similar to other animals like reptiles and how they are different from other animals such as mammals.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
