Welcome to the school yard habitat page!
The bird habitat next to Cougar Court was created to attract birds and other wildlife. It was part of an Eagle Project by Johnny Jackson from Boy Scout Troop 760. The purpose of this project was to help beautify the school and help you learn about the birds around you. The school has already planted a butterfly garden and put in a fish pond. This is all part of the requirements for a school yard habitat from the National Wildlife Federation.
