Student Run Amphibian Conservation Education Project

Fifth Graders at Dodge intermediate School in Twinsburg are participating in an amphibian conservation education project. They will be making an "Amphibians of Ohio" poster with the help of Treefrog Educational. These posters will be located around Twinsburg to highlight the need to protect amphibian habitat and to reduce pollutants. The fifth-graders are raising funds to pay for the professionally produced posters by selling t-shirts. The slogan and images are student-created. The sale continues until May 16th. Buy a t-shirt and help educate Northeast Ohio about amphibians.

I am so impressed with your project! I hope that lots of kids see what you are doing to teach others about the need to help our wildlife. I'd love to hear more about this project, and what others may be doing too.

Keep up the good work.

P.S. It might be fun for your fifth grade group to come to the Zoo for a Rising Water Safari Camp experience. Have any of you ever slept at the Zoo?

Wow! I just recieved my T shirts in the mail and they are so nice! What a wonderful thing these students have done to help protect the cold and slimeys of Ohio. You all are an inspriration. You have shown that EVERYONE can do something to help the amphibians and the environment, no matter what your age! You should let us all know how much money you have raised when the fundraiser is complete.

Way to go!
