On Thursday, February 1, 2001, we were fortunate to have David Pfeffer do a presentation at our school, Ferndale, in St. Catharines. There were three sessions and there were 80 students in each session. It was extremely informative and the students learned a lot. The feedback from teachers was all positive. The resource booklet was well received. Some teachers plan on using it as it fits right in with the curriculum. The students enjoyed the full version of the video, especially the grade 7's. One girl in a special needs class in grade 5 started her speech research today on the peregrine falcon. I would like to thank the Foundation and its sponsor for such a worthwhile visit to our school. 

Sincerely, 

Sandra Sitak, Teacher/Librarian and coordinator of the visit.

The young man who did the presentation to our students from grades 4 to 7 did an excellent job in presenting the information at a level which they could understand and enjoy.  He was surprised at the depth of knowledge about the peregrine that many students already had.  The students, no doubt, gained an even greater appreciation of the challenge and necessity to do all we can to help endangered species in Ontario.

Once again, thank you for this opportunity and all the best in your endeavours on behalf of the peregrine falcon.

Sincerely,

M. Arghittu
Principal
