Writing Eco Mysteries 11
A shout out for the entertaining and informative Science Camp at Gwin Elementary School, organized by Traci Inglewright. The students viewed fascinating raptors close-up thanks to Becky Collier, program coordinator at the Coosa 4-H Center and her assistant Sunny Cooper. Ms. Collier shared stories about how these birds were injured—often by the careless behavior of humans—and can no longer survive in the wild.

Gwin students also participated in hands-on ecology-related activities presented by student teachers from The University of Alabama. Congratulations to Traci, named the Best Environmental Educator in Alabama, by the Environmental Eduction Association of Alabama. She works tirelessly to teach our children how to become wise stewards of our precious natural resources.
