In today’s news
You may have read in the newspaper recently that a science teacher at Nokomis High School was looking for homes for 24 mounted animals that were donated to them by the Smithsonian Museum. Belfast Area High School art teacher, Chuck Hamm and high school administrative assistant Marcia Ames teamed up knowing it would be great to have the lions live at their school. After all, their school mascot is the lion. The lions are now temporarily living in the music room until a glass case is arranged for the lobby of the school.
Those of you that know Chuck know he has traveled to Tanzania on photo safari trips so he has a special interest in educating the students about the majestic animals. Not to mention what a terrific model the lions will be for drawing classes.
