One of the ways we hope to expand our Outreach Program in 2013 is to increase the number of school children we make aware of the importance of conservation, and particularly, the safeguarding of Whooping cranes.
We already have the perfect vehicle for educators to use in their classrooms; one that entertains and educates at the same time. It is our “Craniac Kids Whooping Crane Activity Book”.
What we are looking for is your help and support. How can you help?
It’s simple. First, identify/pick a school (or class) you’d like to see learn about conservation and Whooping cranes. Then, sponsor their receiving a gift of 30 Whooping Crane Activity Books. A sponsorship is just $35.
Use this link to order your donation of Activity Books. In the box labeled “Donation Note” near the bottom of that webpage, type in the name, address and zip code of the school you want your gift to go to. If you wish, you can include a teacher’s name too. We will direct ship the Activity Books to the school/class of your choice, along with a special card recognizing you as the donor-sponsor of their educational gift.
Together, who knows how many young conservationists we can create?!?!
I have talked with 2 teachers and so far 1 has said yes. I would rather send a check for this- how will that work??
Just pop your check in the mail Jo, mark “Activity Booklet” on it, include the school/class/teacher shipping info and we’ll look after the rest. Thank you for supporting youth conservation education!!
Ideally, grades 2 through 6. Younger children would definitely be interested in the adorable images for coloring purposes but any students in the above grades would understand the lessons for sure.
What age (grade) range are these books best suited for?

What a marvelous idea! I have contacted a couple of teachers in my area of WI with the concept and hope to sponsor at least one classroom. I believe it is of incredible importance to get the youth involved in this project, particularly here in WI where they have the opportunity to see them being trained at the Berlin pen site.
