A Mercury Mine Elementary School wildlife assembly brought together students, teachers, and a few feathered friends for an educational experience. The assembly featured a presentation by Ms. Annika Jeras, a volunteer from Liberty Wildlife, a former Mercury Mine student, and a current teacher at the school. She introduced the young learners to Cassidy the Swainson's hawk. Students also had the opportunity to meet Snickers, the great horned owl, and learn about the impressive birds of prey.
"A wildlife organization came to Mercury Mine when I was a student there, which sparked my interest in birds of prey and ultimately led me to volunteer at Liberty Wildlife. So, it was extra special to me, as it felt like a very 'full-circle' moment," said Ms. Jeras!
Ms. Jeras is just one example of the many alums who have chosen to return to Paradise to build their careers.
