Thank you to Dr. Roy Gallinger and Sylva Family Practice for your support of Scotts Creek Elementary through our Adopt-A-School program! Their sponsorship allowed us to deliver three live virtual animal programs to each of their fourth grade classes. Students learned about fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals and met 10 of our animal ambassadors. Check out a behind the scenes photo of a festive student participating in a virtual program from the classroom.
