Education Needs Our Help! 

Audubon Adventures brings science to life for children wherever they live! Each school year, our Chapter offers an Audubon Adventures kit to each 4th grade (or 3rd or 5th) classroom teacher in Highlands County. Last year we supplied kits to public and private schools. Funds are generated through Birdathon donations. Audubon Adventures is a professionally developed environmental education program for children in grades 3 to 6, offered by National Audubon since 1984. Reading and writing lessons in science and the environment are provided by presenting basic, scientifically accurate facts about birds, wildlife, and their habitats. Each kit contains 3 different editions with 32 student nature newspapers and supporting materials for the teacher to utilize—a real bargain!. 

Classroom kit with print and online components.

• Each kit contains 3 complete learning modules with printed student educational magazines (3 separate topics/editions), ready-to-print letter to parents, and user guides for teachers. Teachers (and students) can also access online  informational content and group activities, printables, posters, interactive quizzes, puzzles and games, teaching standards, glossary, and more. 
• Printed kit serves 32 students. 
• Each issue contains fun activities, high interest content, and hopeful messages. 

YOU CAN PARTICIPATE in providing an AUDUBON ADVENTURE kit through sponsoring one or more classes at $47.00 per class kit or contributing toward a class – any amount is  welcome.  Mail your check to P.O BOX 814 Lake Placid, Florida 33862

Highlands County Audubon is a partner in education.  Each year we provide one graduating senior from each of three regions a $500.00 dollar scholarship.  The applications are sent out in the spring and awarded at the end of the year.  Our purpose is to promote and encourage responsible environmental practices.  Each recipient will go on to study a related field.
