Ithan Elementary School has a new bird blind.
Fifth graders from the class of 2009 began creating the bird blind as a legacy project and passed it on to the rest of the students at Ithan. The bird blind was built using six large wooden panels with peep-hole cutouts that allow visitors to view birds without disturbing them or their habitat.
The Ithan Elementary School PTO’s Cultural Arts Committee will host esteemed authors Jules and Kate Feiffer Tues., Feb. 23. In a series of assemblies throughout the day, Jules and Kate will share their award-winning children’s literature and discuss their artistic processes.
