We will be visiting the garden\, forest and lake searching for as many different species as we can find. \nAfter the hike\, participants will return to Heron Hall to share their findings with the whole group. The program is focused on children in grades 3rd – 8th. **Parents will be responsible for their children during the event.** Parents will be responsible for supervising any additional siblings that will be in attendance. \nPlease use the sign-up below to register each child in grades 3 – 8. Registration is limited to 30 students. Bring a water bottle\, snacks & comfortable\, closed-toe shoes. Binoculars will be available to borrow or bring your own. \nDate: 1/4/2020 (Sat.)\nTime: 8:30am – 12:00pm EST\nLocation: Learning Gate Community School – Hanna Campus\nRegister at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f044fabae2ca20-christmas1
