The admin has graciously given me permission to post this notice... 6 kids from the Burroughs Birders youth birding club are offering 5 bird walks this spring/summer.
Location: Veteran’s park in Richfield 10 spots available each day. Sign up, see dates and details <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12Z6XQtxBV80buXqID781VwVa2GDbYaWPDUmbtLQD2GI/edit#gid=0>. I will be along on every walk helping the kids in their roles as guides. And I’ll have plenty of binoculars available. Maybe you know a family with a kid who is interested in birding. Maybe you know a kid you want to get interested in birding. Or, maybe you just think it’s fun to bird with a kid. What’s the fundraiser for? These kids are on also on a Destination Imagination team at their school. This year this team of seven 5th graders… - Won 1st in their division at the regional tournament - Took home the Davici prize for creativity at regionals - Won 1st place at their state tournament - Earned the change to compete at the global tournament. -This is the first time an elementary team from Minneapolis has ever gone to globals. They wrote a skit that solved a mystery, did it all in black-and-white and in rhyme for a jazz-age concept, and built an electro-magnate. Plus they had to solve a instant challenge on the spot, working as a team. What is Destination Imagination (DI)? In DI, student teams solve team challenges with no adult input. This hands-on system of learning fosters students’ creativity, courage and curiosity through open-ended academic challenges in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), fine arts and service learning. Thank you and Happy Birding, Amy Simso Dean Add extra color to your (or a friend’s) world.
