Giddings ISD 5th grade field day

VMS opportunity: Group Educational Presentations

This is a new event for 2024, building on our successful on-campus wildlife day for Giddings ISD 4^th graders. TMN is partnering with the Lee County Wildlife Association, Lee County Extension, and TPWD for a day of wildlife education at the Parker ranch 9 miles NW of Giddings. (The Parkers were early members of this TMN chapter.) Approximately 120 students will rotate among six stations:

1)      Stream erosion/rainfall simulator (leaders: Chuck Babb and John Gardner)

2)      Insect Life Cycles (leader: Wizzie Brown)

3)      Bird Adaptations (leader: Clint Faas)

4)      Ecosystems/Quail/Run for Your Life (leaders: Laura Sherrod and Celeste Dickshat)

5)      Nature Reflections (leader: Mary Pearl Meuth)

6)      Fishing (leader: Larry Hysmith)

This is a full day event. Students will arrive about 9 a.m. and depart at 2:30. Lunch will be provided for volunteers (please include dietary restrictions or preferences in your response). We will need approximately 10 volunteers. Please respond to Sheri Wilcox (glctmnpres@gmail.com). We will try to accommodate preferences for station assignments, but please be willing to be flexible.
