We now have ten bluebird boxes up around the school campus! A huge thanks to Dr. Lynn Siefferman, ornithologist from AppState's Department of Biology who came to teach us about local birds last week, for putting together the boxes and bringing them over to Cove Creek for the kids to paint. She donated the boxes and not only helped with the painting, but also stayed after the session and hang all the bird boxes up.
Each team of students painted a bird box. They are numbered so that we can monitor bird activity and keep track of it using this collaborative spreadsheet. You can see the location of the boxes on the map below. Make sure to check them out next time you're in school, the kids are very proud of them. A shout out to Casey Tester, Olivia's mom, for bringing delicious clementines and juice for snack, and Melanie Hollis for helping out with the painting. As well as our usual Nature Team members Angela, Sabene and Amy. That was one messy painting ordeal! But well worth it as you can see in the pictures of the finished products below...
