Good Morning!

I just wanted to share that the kindergarten students at Palmetto Elementary School has the most wonderful experience at The Naples Zoo on February 25, 2020. The students enjoyed many things from the boat ride to see the monkeys and the giraffes; seeing how tall they really are!! They were so overjoyed to be able to experience the zoo as most had never been to TheNaples Zoo nontheless any zoo. I was thrilled, as was all of the teachers to be able to share this. I thank you Champions of Learning and our generous donors for helping our students be able to have this day. Please see the attached photo collages of the students. They had a blast!

Again,

Thank you!

What will be done with my students

Our Kindergarten group can experience several presentations offered by the zoo. For example, Alligator Bay Feeding, Snake Sunbathing and the Primate Expedition Cruise, where the students can learn about the animals in their natural habitat.

Benefits to my students
