The Primary Hall adopts an endangered species.

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!
