Project School Visit:
Minesing Central School (Minesing)

Visit sponsored by: Friends of the Environment

On May 26, 2003 we visited Minesing Central School with one of our peregrine falcons.  Below are comments and a drawing inspired by the visit:

This letter is in appreciation of your recent visit to the Minesing Central School in Simcoe County.  My grade four students absolutely loved the presentation, and really took in the information that was presented.  Qetesh was a big hit!  I would like to thank you for the amazing opportunity.  Your program was very informative and tied directly to our Science curriculum (particularly the Life Systems strand).

Below you will find a comment from each of my students about your visit.  Enjoy!

Thanks again,

Sherry Gilbert, Grade 4 Teacher
