Earth Week 2018
A Celebration of Birds!
Sponsored by the Walden PTO and Green Team
Let’s learn about the birds who live in Northern Illinois in our backyards and surrounding areas. We'll kick things off with My Birdwatching, a bird watching activity for you, your friends, and family to do together. Log your results on the Google Form (attach link) from Monday 4/16 through Monday 4/23. Then on Wednesday, 4/25, we invite the Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab and Education group to Walden Elementary School for an awesome assembly with 8 to 10 live birds! Owls, hawks, eagles, and other raptors (birds of prey) will be on display, PLUS they will have multiple, interactive, educational exhibits designed for classes K-2 and 3-5. Students with the most bird watching finds will earn a photo opportunity with Dr. Schwartz and their favorite raptor!
