HELP US ADOPT A GORILLA! Change for Ivan - During Library Time, Second Grade has been reading the novel, The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. The inspired story of a real silverback gorilla named Ivan who was held captive for 27 years at a shopping mall before being moved to Zoo Atlanta. The Zoo houses the nation's largest collection of Western Lowland Gorillas. To complement our reading, Second Grade will be collecting any spare change to raise funds so we can adopt our own Western Lowland Gorilla through World Wildlife. Any extra funds will be used as a donation to World Wildlife, which supports protected areas of the Western lowland gorilla's habitat.
Middle School students recently attended the annual Susquehanna Valley Envirothon at Montour Preserve. Students learned about and competed in the following environmental science categories: wildlife, aquatics, forestry, and soils.
