Rolling Hills Zoo in Salina, Kansas issued a challenge to local schools and classrooms- to have a penny war. The class that could raise the most money would be given a free field trip to the ZOO! And guess what... We WON!!!
On our trip at the zoo, we met Penny the Mascot of the new African Penguins on exhibit at the zoo.
We learned about the food the penguins eat!
We even had a chance to be silly!!!!
The money we raised for the African penguins was then sent out to make 4 new nests in the penguins natural habitat. 4 Nests! That's AWESOME!
While at the zoo, we touched a penguin model. We handled a turtle and celebrated with an ice cream party.
How Fun it was for us to win!!! We even go the right to name a penguin... we chose PENNY!!!! For all the pennies we collected in the jar! She is beautiful!
