Adopt-A-Classroom

Audubon Adventures Adopt-A-Classroom program seeking a few additional sponsors for the 2007-08 school year

by Debra Eichner

Audubon Adventures is an award-winning curriculum kit which supplies everything teachers need to deliver an enriched environmental science and language arts curriculum using nature-based learning. Lane Audubon members make these curriculum kits available to teachers at no cost to the school system through the Adopt-A-Classroom program.

The theme for 2007-08 is "Back from the Brink, Success Stories from the Endangered Species Act, " with student newsletters featuring: "The Bald Eagle," "The Grizzly Bear," "The American Alligator" and "The Gray Whale."

This school year, fifty classrooms across the county have received the Audubon Adventures curriculum. We have been acknowledging sponsors here in The Quail as the year has progressed. Thanks to everyone who has stepped forward to support this program!

If you would like to sponsor one of the remaining classes this year through a tax deductible donation, please mail a check for $45 to: Lane County Audubon Society, P.O. Box 5086, Eugene, OR 97405
