Thanks to you (tools, wildlife feed, etc.) we are able to care for our unique, hands-on outdoor learning area. And thanks to you we are able to better care for the 3 native snakes (for which I have DNR permits) that enrich our classroom. The bedding and large water dish are perfect for our spacious enclosures. On a special note, my student volunteers and parents joined me recently at an outreach event at Elachee Nature Center, and thanks to your supplies my students were able to lead exhibits for over 500 visitors! It was wonderful to see them in a leadership role.
