Lower School students and prospective lower school families are invited to attend this interactive program which provides students with the opportunity to observe and touch several live animal ambassadors and artifacts as they learn about unique animal adaptations. Students will examine the physical and behavioral traits that allow animals to survive in their different habitats and discuss how humans are impacting the survival of many species. Together, we will brainstorm strategies to help our animal friends thrive!
