Fifth Grade Gives Adopted Walruses
Fifth grade teachers (1 to r): Ms. Pat Lawlor, Mrs. Lonni Oldham and Ms. Linda Lamphier show off the momentos they received from their students.
Throughout the year the fifth grade concentrates on wildlife preservation, prairie restoration and environmental awareness in its curriculum. To show they really get the message, students cooperated in secretly collecting donations. They adopted
Basilla, the female, and Bulka, the male walrus at the Brookfield Zoo in the names of the fifth grade teachers. The students presented the walruses to the teachers on the la^t day of school.
"What a cute little walrus he is!", commented Mrs.
Oldham. "I can't wait to go to BrookHeld Zoo to see the real walruses on a nice day," said Mrs. Lamphier. "What a team effort!" praised Ms. Lawlor.
Special thanks to the parents who helped the students organize the gift.      ,
