Visit sponsored by: Friends of the Environment Foundation Guelph

On April the 15th, 2004, we visited Guelph's St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School. Below is a letter from the school and pictures from some of the students.

Many thanks to you for arranging for Ms. Maya Basdeo to visit our school.
Her presentation was exciting, enjoyable and most informative, as we learned much about the peregrine falcon. Our grade four, five and six classes listened intently to the topics covered which included the falcon's habitat, what they eat, their history and why they are an endangered species. Much of what they heard reflects there study in their science curriculum and ties in well this month as we both recognize and appreciate our planet and those who inhabit It. The highlight, of course, was actually seeing a real falcon. They are, indeed, a beautiful bird. In addition, we appreciate keeping the video "Life on the Edge", which I have made available to any class interested in learning more.

Finally and most importantly, on behalf of the students and staff of St. Francis of Assisi (Falcons), I wish to thank the TD Canada Trust Fund - Friends of the Environment for funding this wonderful program. We would not have learned or experienced these presentations if it were not for their generous financial support.
