Hot Times at Old Town

Appearing below are selections from the hard copy Hot Times. The objective is to highlight activities at the School and in the larger community, especially those featuring or of special interest to teachers and staff. Your suggestions are welcome.

For a Non-Spooky Halloween Experience….

This sounds like good family fun. The Garfield Park Conservatory is hosting a free “Creatures of the Night” family program on Saturday, October 27th.

They’re using the up-coming Halloween as a teaching opportunity about night dwelling animals that have special adaptations, or “tricks,” that help them roam in the dark. Live nocturnal animals, like fruit bats, spiders, owls, and more, will make a rare daytime greenhouse appearance. Children and families can “learn an adaptation trick, and get a treat” at each of these special critter stations. Other fun activities include spider plantings, nectar cups, and spooky popcorn hands.

This free biological shindig will run from noon to 3 p.m.
