In October 2001 we re-visited Whitby's E.A. Fairman Public School with our young female peregrine falcon "Penny". Below is a letter from the school:
On behalf of the staff and students, I would like to thank your organization for coming to our school to talk about peregrines and your programs. The presentation was extremely informative and interesting. The students enjoyed the interactive format and especially the live falcon! It was obvious that the students learned a lot about endangered species and ways that communities can help. We look forward to having you back next year.
Sincerely,
Brian

In October 1999, we made our first visit to a school in Durham Region - E. A. Fairman in Whitby. We brought with us our 9-year-old peregrine falcon, "Qetesh". The Grade 5 and 6 classes obviously paid good attention to our presentations, and showed some great creativity and artistic ability in the submissions they sent in below:
