Enviro- #eduwin: Student Extend Their Learning By Becoming Activists
Barrett third graders have been learning about bats in the Discovery Lab, Library, and classroom. After a visit from bat expert Leslie Sturges and two live bats, a group of students took the initiative to start the Barrett Bat Kids. This week the students have been asking for donations that will support the work being done to protect bats from White-nose syndrome (WNS), a disease that affects hibernating bats and was first detected in the winter of 2006-07.

District 102 students participating in the annual PSA Digital Media Challenge, along with their families, attended a public screening of their entries on Sat. 5/18/2013. The event also helped to raise awareness about Buffalo Grove Theatre’s struggle to convert to digital this year, or go dark. And, yes, there was popcorn! #eduwin
