Each student researched an animal at the zoo that faces extinction. In addition, students learned about the conservation efforts Fort Wayne Zoo takes to preserve many endangered species. To support their efforts, second grade students opened their own Animal Store to raise money. Their store raised a total of $633.25 to directly support the zoo.
Today on their field trip to the Fort Wayne Zoo, students were surprised with their very own animal adoption kits. Students received a plush of the animal they studied along with an adoption certificate and a letter from the Zoo Director.
A big shoutout goes to Jim for presenting our students with these kits and thanking them for their hard work on this project. We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do!






From the first pickup in the morning to the final drop-off in the afternoon, you play such an important role in our students' daily lives. Your commitment to safety, consistency, and care does not go unnoticed. You build relationships, create a positive start to the day, and ensure our students get where they need to be safely.
Thank you for everything you do behind the wheel and beyond. We are grateful for each of you and proud to have you as part of our Polar Bear family!

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
Big dreams are the beginning of amazing journeys. Don’t be afraid to dream bold, Polar Bears. Keep believing in what’s ahead and take a step toward it today.
