On March the 9th, 2004, we visited the Sarnia Christian School. Below is a picture and a letter from the school.

I have just said goodbye to Maya and Qetesh and must tell you what an incredible experience their visit to our school was' As the students were leaving to board their buses, they were talking about all the sights and information they had just seen and heard.

Thank you so much to the Canadian Peregrine Foundation and the TD Canada Trust—Friends of the Environment for making this presentation possible! As a Christian School we are not eligible for many programs that the public and separate schools are able to use, so this was a real treat for our students and teachers!

Many parts of our curriculum were enhanced through Maya's presentation, including animal groups, food chains, and ecology. We were also able to see the historical importance of falcons through ties made to Medieval Times and Ancient Egypt.

With the Peregrine Falcon Unit and video that our school was able to keep. we will be able to further enhance our study of birds and ecology at various grade levels.

After visiting the Canadian Peregrine Foundation website. the students are eager to learn more about specific birds. They are also excited about the possibility of adopting a bird to help out the work of the foundation.

Maya was so good at relating to the children and was able to share a lot of information with them! The students were just thrilled to be able to see one of God's special creatures up doss. They were challenged to do their part to preserve and maintain the habitat of the peregrine falcon.

Thank you again to the TD Canada Trust—Friends of the Environment for making this awesome presentation possible!

Sincerely,

Helen Strybos
