We are very proud of our second grade class, who received the following letter from The Nature Conservancy!

Dear Mrs. O’Rourke,

Welcome to The Nature Conservancy! Thank you so much for your generous gift of $76.26 received on November 7, 2009 to support The Nature Conservancy’s Adopt an Acre® program. This thoughtful gift will help to preserve and protect Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula – truly one of the Earth’s last great places and home to an array of animals, including four species of monkey, jaguars, and the country’s largest population of scarlet macaws.

Since 1990, the Adopt an Acre program has provided critical funds for forest protection for hundreds of thousands of acres around the world. In partnership with local communities, businesses and people like you, the Conservancy can continue to address the devastating impacts of deforestation and find lasting solutions to these conservation challenges.

Thank you for helping us to preserve the last great places on Earth for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Mark R Tercek

President and Chief Executive Officer
