Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Brown Class Field Trip to the Folsom Zoo and Sanctuary

Folsom Zoo:
“Since 1963, this small unique California zoo has been providing sanctuary to some very special animals. All are non-releasable. Many were raised, and rejected, as wild pets. Others were injured or orphaned in the wild. Most are native to North America. All have names and personalities, and their individual stories are posted at the exhibits, along with factual, up-to-date information about their species.The distinctive educational focus of the zoo promotes responsible and appropriate behavior toward all animals. The zoo teaches about common and uncommon animals, both wild and domestic, and includes those in between, like feral pigs and wolf-dog hybrids. Zoo programs stress that wild animals don’t make good pets.”

A big shout out to TARGET ! They donated this field trip as part of a grant won by the classes of Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Brown. My daughter Jaz is lucky enough to have Anderson/Brown for her teachers. I have to admit that zoos make me a bit uncomfortable but this is the “unzoo” giving non releasable animals a place to live, to be respected and cared for. The kids all had a fabulous day! Thank you TARGET for your generosity!
