Barn Hill Preserve, a free animal education program, offered students at Everett Elementary the unique experience of getting up close and personal with animals they may have never seen before.  The second and third grade students learned fun facts about a Pixie frog, bearded dragon, English Lop rabbit, two-toed sloth, King snake, and a Tegu lizard. The presenter made the program both educational and entertaining while allowing questions from the audience.
