Earlier this week, the Small Animal Science program at the Hewes Educational Center welcomed Cheryl Burns, a wildlife rehabilitator and former Agricultural Science teacher at Cassadaga Valley for 30 years.
Cheryl spoke with students about wildlife conservation and the importance of contacting a licensed rehabilitator when an animal is injured or orphaned, bringing along an owl named Poot as part of the visit. ๐ฆ
Poot was believed to have been struck by a vehicle last year and now has a wing injury that prevents him from flying or hunting. He has been in Cherylโs care since being found by a local family.
Thank you, Cheryl and Poot, for providing our students with a meaningful learning experience!

April is Autism Acceptance Month ๐
This year, weโre going beyond awareness and focusing on real stories, real voices, and real understanding. As part of our awareness campaign, we had the privilege of interviewing parents and their families to share their experiences, challenges, and the beautiful moments that come with raising and loving someone on the autism spectrum.
Weโre excited to introduce our 4-part video series, where these families open up to help our community better understand autism in a meaningful and personal way.
Our hope is that through these stories, youโll gain new perspectives, deepen your empathy, and learn something you may not have known before.
Stay tuned, follow along, and join us in celebrating acceptance, inclusion, and the power of listening ๐
