On Saturday April 28, I attended the Earth Day celebration at the Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary in Attleboro, Ma.  There were many activities like building bird houses, learning about ponds, up close encounters with birds of prey, hissing Madagascar cockroaches (yuk) and opportunities to hike the trails. They even had an opportunity to try cooked crickets and rice (double yuk!)
I held two different reading sessions (2 & 3pm) with about 25 children in attendance at each session.  The 30 blueberry bushes that were purchased by the TelecomPioneers and donated to the Sanctuary in celebration of Earth Day, were planted earlier in the day by individuals and families who volunteered in the morning to clean up and plant.
I walked around afterwards and handed out about 50 more books and left 50 books that the store can use as a fundraiser.  It was a beautiful day with many families in attendance and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to sit and read their book.  submitted by Deb Foley
