The Winds Howl Loudly,  Back To Nature Saves The Day!

By: Andrew Romitti and Julian Singleton

      In the treacherous winds of October, 2016 we were fighting to save the people, but what about the animals? Back To Nature Wildlife Refuge is the non-profit organization that swoops in and saves the day! So for our dodge ball tournament we are going to sponsor this amazing organization! When you pay to enter our dodge ball tournament, you help donate money to Back To Nature Wildlife Refuge.

Purpose


     The purpose that we are sponsoring this organization, is to help those less fortunate, even if our cause isn't related to our species. Another thing is that we are teaching others how to make a difference in the world, and teaching them the qualities of being a good leader. We have learned  so much on this adventure, and we are excited to help a reasonable cause. In a national geographic article we read as a class, we learned about baby animals in Hurricane Matthew, and if you want to read about it, go to this website;  http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/10/animals-rescued-hurricane-matthew-florida/ 

How YOU Are Helping If You Participate In Our Tournament!

If  you are committed to helping this cause, then maybe you can come and stop by our tournament! If you are not yet convinced  then maybe I can tell a little bit about an animal in need at BTNWR, the bobcat Oscar. When he was a kit, (a.k.a. a baby cat), his home was ran over by a lawnmower and his mother ran away, and his baby brother died. The owners of the lawnmower waited over 24 hours for Oscar's mother to come back, and then when she didn't come back they gave Oscar to Back To Nature and now it is his permanent home. This was a very sad story, but just think about how you are going to help this animal if you come to our tournament. 

     We hope we got you a little bit inspired to come to our tournament. We think that this is such a good cause, and even if you cant come you can still support them by going to their website there you can learn about their animal walk, a story for every animal, and you can donate money to help take care of the animal online!

OVERVIEW
By: Kayoina Lily and Addie Clay

 Our school is doing a service  learning project, and we are sponsoring Back To Nature Wildlife Refuge. Back To Nature Wildlife Refuge is a animal sanctuary that has rescued animals and then releases them when they are all healthy, strong, and ready for the wild again. Back To Nature has taken in way more animals than ever after Hurricane Matthew, they have over 70 animals in their refuge right now. Many animals were injured at that time, but are recovering with the help of Back To Nature. Back To Nature's Refuge is located in Orlando, Florida. We've spent a lot of time learning about them from National Geographictheir website, and a even some Skype Conferences we have done together.  We are glad to be sharing this information with you!
