Darby Woods 4th Graders Love Packard!

Susan Levine autographed over 50 books for Darby Woods 4th graders!

"The presentation was amazing!  It was an excellent model of the writing process for our students.  When Susan was talking about the editing process one student remarked 'I do that too!'  Beyond writing, the day offered cross curricular learning in both science and social studies as the students learned about peregrine falcons, the efforts to bring them back from near extinction, the history of key landmarks in Columbus and the publishing process.  We often refer back to Susan's presentation in our classrooms.  It was a wonderful educational experience for the 4th graders at Darby Woods." — Laurie Brown, 4th Grade teacher, Darby Woods Elementary

Pickington Elementary shows off their hometown

Students at Pickerington Elementary created their own Packard page about a favorite place in their hometown of Pickerington, Ohio.

Buckeye Valley Elementary is so artistic!

Check out these cute baby falcon chicks that the students at Buckeye Valley created for our visit.

Packard visits Etna Elementary!

We had a great day at Etna Elementary. In honor of our visit, students had the opportunity to read in "birds nests" that were created using plastic swimming pools!

"The Packard program is fantastic! The energy and excitement the program brought grabbed and held the attention of all our students, grades 1-5. The students and teachers enjoyed both the large and, more intimate, small break out groups. Our students gained an invaluable experience with Susan and The Bird Sanctuary that they will carry with them." — Meghann Chute, Reading Intervention, Etna Elementary
