Second grade student, Sydney, attends the Adams Montessori School in Quincy, MA, and she came to investigate.   “People think they (raccoons) are mean, but they just want to find food and eat.  I think they are cute.”  She said.  Sydney was visiting the Center with her friend Nicole, her dad and her domestic rabbit, named John.  John was being ‘checked out’ at the Odd Pet Vet by Dr. Adamski.  Meanwhile, Sydney and her friend Nicole investigated raccoons, so that Sydney could write her report for school.

“It is wonderful to say hello to a child in the hall and get to hear her excitement about the Center, and about the specialness of raccoons.”  Said our executive director Katrina Bergman.  “Raccoons are lucky to have friends like Sydney.”  

Sydney will be bringing her class to visit the Center after she files her report. “To me,” says Katrina, “this is what environmental protection looks like.  This is what wildlife care looks like.  This is what real education looks like.  Today, Sydney fell in love with raccoons.  That is awesome.”
