Endangered Species Report
by Pranavi Pratapa and Sridula Kallakuri
The primary hall has adopted another animal this year, and
the winner is the snowy owl! The young-fives through second grade students
voted, and it was officially adopted through the Defender of Wildlife
organization in November, 2013. They considered other options too, like the
penguin, and the tiger. But it was the snowy owl that won. The owl lives in the
Aleutian Mts. of Alaska. It can also be found in eastern Manitoba, northern
Quebec, and Labrador during breeding seasons. They can even be found in the
United States! As far south as Florida, and as far north as Maine, the snowy
owl makes its appearance occasionally. The snowy owl is an interesting
creature; it’s no wonder the primary hall decided to adopt it!
