🦘 WAIT, IT WAS BRING YOUR ANIMAL TO SCHOOL DAY?? 🐢

Our classrooms were filled with big smiles and happy chirps this morning as the Party Paws Mobile Zoo stopped by Dayse Baker Learning Center! From furry friends to cool scales, our students loved getting up close, learning about different species, and making some unforgettable animal buddies.🐍🦉

We had a lemur, a wallaby (SO CUTE), a boa constrictor (NOT SO CUTE), an owl, a tortoise and a tegu (I'll call it a lizard)! Turns out the owl is famous and is actually in eight movies including The Magnificent Seven (2016) and a number of Netflix specials!

Trainers Jenna and Mike were incredible and so great with the kids. Your energy, patience, and amazing animals made this such an exciting morning!!
