Thank you to all those parents that purchased birdseed for our outdoor feeding area. It has been very successful all year and that would not have been possible without your generosity. We have attracted a large variety of birds during the school year and hopefully the wildflower garden will continue to feed the birds through the summer.

If someone missed the opportunity to help us out, it is never too late. Although we will not be feeding through the summer, we will always have it stored at Wild Birds Unlimited where you go to purchase it. The seed is listed on the school’s card and we just pick it up when we need seed. It will be helpful to start off the school year with full feeders. We can never have too much seed.

 

Again, thank you for thinking of the birds and helping to develop the front of the school into a productive natural area.
