Wow.
ZooTek was here for Earth Day. Thank you to our PA for sponsoring this thrilling visit! The children LOVED it. It was so much fun to see these extraordinary creatures up close. No one ever forgets the first time they hold a snake. Handling animals with care and respect is a real skill and Joe from ZooTek did a wonderful job of guiding the children.
