An enthusiastic group of Oregon Con- nections Academy students, accompa- nied by their parents, took a fi eld trip to the Wildlife Center of the North Coast (WCNC) March 15. The statewide online public school hosted the visit to give stu- dents an opportunity to learn how the cen- ter rescues and rehabilitates injured and displaced wildlife, with the goal of send- ing healthy creatures back to their native habitat. Families toured the spaces used to reha- bilitate raptors, viewed an American Kes- trel, and met “Cormy,” a double crested cormorant, the newest bird to the WCNC. Each year Oregon Connections Acad- emy hosts over 200 fi eld trips and other events across the state to enhance learning and bring school to life, but also to encour- age socialization for students and families.
