Every year the people of the Upper Skagit welcome the magnificent Bald Eagles back to their winter feeding grounds with a festival celebrating their return to this special habitat. Many times teachers want to learn new information to add additional content to what they teach in the areas of watersheds, the life cycle of the salmon/eagles or ecosystems/habitat education. This special inservice opportunity offers educators a chance to do just that by attending this informative and exciting weekend in February.
Teachers will receive 10 FREE clock hours* by attending the Bald Eagle Festival and attending the numerous educational presentations and/or the field trips, as well as the other special events on Saturday and Sunday, February 3-4, 2007. The clock hours are provided courtesy of Puget Sound Energy in cooperation with Washington Science Teachers Association (WSTA).
*You must attend both Saturday/Sunday to receive the maximum clock hours!
