Classroom Connections

UPDATE: National Audubon has eliminated the Audubon Adventures program but we are happy to report that we are developing fun, engaging, and informative curricula for the classroom that meet educational standards . We can bring this new activity into area classrooms with your help.  Please “Sponsor a Classroom” to offset the costs of materials. Thank you for your support of our educational programs.

Add  your support to Birds in the Schools (BITS)!

Donations from Coast to Cascades Bird Alliance members make it possible for us to provide lessons and associated materials to elementary-school classrooms throughout Lane County. We hope that you will add your support to this worthy and exciting program.

The cost to sponsor one classroom is $45 but donations of any size are appreciated. If you want to specify a classroom or school you would like your donation to go toward, let us know on the form and we will try to make it happen!

Donations are tax-deductible.

Putting Classroom Kits in Students’ Hands

Our report from the last school year: Thanks to the sponsors, both regular and new, who made it possible for us to give local classrooms the Audubon Adventures classroom kits once again.

These donations mean that 24 classrooms in Lane County elementary schools received Audubon Adventures. The topics for last year’s three learning modules are Raptors, Seabirds, and Sharing Our Shores.

The schools (and number of classrooms participating) are: Howard Elementary (5), Awbrey Park (2), Mt. Vernon (1), Veneta (4), Edison (2), Adams (1), Elmira (1), Applegate (2), Thurston (1), Ridgeline Montessori (1), Yolanda (1), Siuslaw (1), and McCornack (2).

This represents a total of 589 students—quite an impact!

We appreciate the dedicated teachers who are helping connect their students with the fascinating and vital natural world, and the sponsors who make this program possible.
