Taking Toby Home
The kids would love the opportunity to take him home, however it is quite an adventure! Toby needs to go to someone's house in his habitat. Therefore, he must travel in his 50 gallon tank with his heat lamps.
If you are interested in taking him home over the break in February or April please email me! We can arrange to have him carted to your car after school.
Field Trip: January 10th
We will need many chaperones for this field trip! If you are available and interesting in attending, please send me an email so we can double check that the school has you on their volunteer list!
