Willowbrook Wildlife Center
On Wednesday we were visited by the Willowbrook Wildlife Center. They brought with them a barred owl and a screetch owl. We learned about their feathers, bones, skulls, and habitats. It was exciting to see real owls!

Abby is the Student of the Week! She likes to play the WII, play on her computer and help others. Her favorite animal is a puppy. Her favorite color is purple. When Abby grows up she wants to be a Lifeguard.
