Traveling World Of Reptiles

Hopewell had an assembly with The Traveling World of Reptiles, an up-close, live, and extremely interactive or "hands on" experience about reptiles and amphibians from around the world. The presentation helped to dispel many of the myths surrounding these animals as well as educate the audience as to why they're necessary and beneficial to the environment. Students were able to see, touch, and learn about reptiles from all over the world.
