"Mrs. Krell's 3rd grade class had an exciting opportunity today! Through NWECS they were able to go on a virtual field trip with Sage Dunham, The Group Coordinator at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary. Sage talked with students as they dissected owl pellets.

 

They found plenty of bones and were able to decipher what they were using their bone chart. Such a cool experience!"
