Bluebird House Project!!

We need to find the perfect spots for our eastern Bluebirds on the campus!
The best environment with low vegetation and less woods will be best. We will possibly place them around the perimeter of the back field of the school?? But first we have to finish them up!

Our next meeting is on Wednesday, December 1st and we need members to bring in hammers, paint, nails and brushes! Don't forget!
