Last Chance
Forever:
One thing I will always remember is learning about raptors. I think it is sad that some birds die. I hope the birds get well. I am happy that you are saving them." - Second grade student at Pfeiffer Elementary School, San Antonio, Texas "Dear Mr. Karger, The show was great and amazing. I learned about the way golden eagles hunt for their prey. I didn't know they use their feet for weapons. I will not forget the golden eagle." - - Second grade student at Pfeiffer Elementary School, San Antonio, Texas
"I just can't tell you how much our students learned from this project. As teachers, we can stand up and talk about how important it is for us to preserve our natural resources until we are blue in the face. But because they actually experienced this, our students will never forget how they made a difference in the life of a very beautiful creature." - Diane Haskell, teacher at Hannan Academy, Columbus, Georgia
"We have all been truly 'uplifted' by the events that have transpired this past school year. Watching the children's eyes and smiles, and listening to their cheers of excitement when they saw the video of the hawk's release is truly an inspiration - and a reminder. A reminder that we must give children the open doors that will allow them to make worthwhile achievements, and the opportunities for them to know what it feels like to be responsible for making everlasting impressions on others." - Dradyn Hinson, teacher at Hannan Academy, Columbus, Georgia
"The children who are here on this earth need you...and in some ways, the ones who are not here yet need you even more... because you hold their future in your passion and optimism and hope for their parents who are but small children today." - A parent of a Hannan Academy student
This month, Amazing Kids! is proud to honor the amazing love and dedication of students at Hannan Academy in Georgia, and Pfeiffer Elementary School in San Antonio, Texas. With great love in their hearts for all wildlife and for our Earth, the amazing students at Hannan Academy adopted an injured hawk so it could be healed and rehabilitated, and released back into the wild, its natural habitat. Then, the amazing kids from Pfeiffer linked up with Hannan's students in an Internet project, using CUSeeMe (video conferencing technology for the Internet), to share in the experience. Using the Internet, the Hannan students shared their story about adopting a hawk with the students from Pfeiffer. When the hawk was finally ready to be released in Texas, the Pfeiffer kids volunteered their help. Since Texas was too far for the Hannan students to travel, the Pfeiffer students pitched in, and went to the site where the hawk was going to be released. They cheered on the hawk as he once again was able to fly free! And they video taped the release, so the Hannan students could watch their adopted hawk be released. These amazing Hannan students in Club Wild are already planning their next 'Adopt-a-Hawk" program! And the amazing Pfeiffer elementary students were so excited and touched by their experience that their school is going to start a similar "Adopt-a-Hawk" program next year! Read their inspiring stories below, and who knows? Maybe you'll want to help adopt a hawk, or another bird of prey too!
