Science Center - Summer Animals!!!!!!!

Summer Visiting Animal Program

The Burlington Science Center is looking for homes for some of its animals over Summer vacation.

--Gerbils (easy-low care)

--Box turtles (eats salad and live insects)

--Gecko (eats live insects-shedding issues to be concerned with)

--African Clawed Frogs (eats hand fed worms)

--Tarantula (eats live crickets)

--Salamanders (must be hand fed crickets with hand or

tweezers)

--Possibly cockatiels (messy; high care; needs to be a

teflon/non-stick cookware, scented candles, sensitive chemical

free house)

Still waiting back to hear from people so there is a wait list for these animals:

Hamster (easy-nocturnal)

Guinea Pig (large cage and lots of supplies-high care animal; one is elderly)

corn snake (eats mice-needs to be kept in freezer)

--The Science Center will provide cage, STARTER food,

shavings, and care sheet for each animal.

--Call Ms. Pavlicek (781)-270-2928 or e-mail

pavlicek@bpsk12.org asap if interested.  

--Animals are distributed on a first come, first serve

basis.  

--All animals must be picked up by June 14th making an

appointment with Ms. Pavlicek. Thank you.

Field Trip Thursday May 11

 REMINDER: May 11th

Grade 4 Field Trip

We will leave Fox Hill at 9:15 and return at approximately 1:30. Students will need a bag lunch with disposable drink and a snack. Please put your lunch/drink/snack in a plastic disposable bag, and write your name on the bag with a Sharpie (or marker).

Per Land’s Sake,

• Participants should wear comfortable, weather appropriate clothing that can get a little dirty.
• For safety reasons, all participants must wear closed-toe sneakers.
• To protect against sun exposure and insect bites, we recommend long pants tucked into socks and long sleeves.
