Cooler fall temperatures at night and warm "Indian Summer" days are accompanied by animals and plants carrying out their annual life cycles or preparing for the winter.
Students, as you head into the autumn season here are some upcoming events to remember:
Oklahoma Wildlife Expo 2009
Wynona 6-12th grade science students will travel to the Lazy-E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma to attend the Wildlife Expo School Day Event on Friday, September 25th. This special school day event is hosted by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and will feature over 100 wildlife and outdoor related exhibits. We will be traveling by bus and will most certainly need parent sponsors. If you are interested in helping out, contact me through our school office. This is a free event, but in order to participate students must be eligible under school guidelines, the same as any other extra curricular activity.
