On October 19, the Zoomobile drove into town, and the Pre K through 6th grade classes welcomed Alison, an animal handler from Great Plains Zoo out of Sioux Falls. On the Zoomobile, Alison brought a chinchilla, a turtle, a bird, and a skink. Kindergartner Josie Schloss said, “My favorite part was the chinchilla because he was cool.”

Alison taught the kids about how animals move, and the students were allowed to pet the turtle. Kindergartner Haven Haenfler said, “My favorite part was seeing all the animals.”

The Zoomobile out of Great Plains Zoo visits area schools every year. This year Avon was lucky enough to have them here.
