"My 9 year old daughter and I have been following the Whooping Crane reintroduction through the wonderful Journey North website, and the OM field journals, for many months with homeschooling. I used to be an intern, many years ago, at the International Crane Foundation, so I have been passionate about cranes for a long time." Abby Studnicka

Sisters Win Conservationist of the Year Award. The girls raised $2,500 for the cranes! Their efforts earned them an award, and their story inspired others to donate money, too. See their Earth Day display.
| After the storm deaths of the Clas of 2006, "I decided that I wanted to help my girls take a tragedy and make some good come from it. They have learned lessons on science, math, and geography... through your site. Now they are learning about grief, and making something positive come from it. They are learning that as children, they can make the world a better place if you dedicate yourself to a cause close to your heart, and persevere. I am hoping to inspire other children to know that they too can make a difference in the world." Abby Studnicka, Home School Teacher |
