Project School Visit:
Smithfield Public School (Etobicoke)

Visit sponsored by: Friends of the Environment Foundation

In February 1999, we visited the students of Smithfield School.  On this occasion we were joined by Autumn, a female peregrine with a broken wing from the Raptor Rehabilitation Centre in Grimsby, Ontario.   Here are some of the comments we received from the students:

I really enjoyed your visit to our class.  I hope you will join our class again.  I liked looking at all of your colours.  I hope peregrine falcons never get extinct.  I hope your wing gets better soon.   What I learned from seeing you close up is how you react to people.  You are a little shy.  I liked when you came out of your cage and looked at everyone.   That was very cool.  Thank you for coming to our class for a visit.

Your friend, Aurjit

Dear Stacey,

Hi, thanks for coming to our school.  You did a very good presentation.  I learned a lot from it.  I learned what DDT manes and all the other things you said.  Autumn was very pretty and nice.  She was getting nervous when a class came in the classroom.  I hope you come again to our school.

Yours sincerely, Erra
