Save Scooter!

This past June, Scooter - NHCS's favorite turtle - took a fall and broke his shell. His shell has been mended, but his emergency vet bill is expensive and he doesn't have health insurance.

If you can contribute anything towards Scooter's shell repair the KidLab teacher would be extremely grateful.

To see pictures of Scooter in action please visit the school's profile on Flickr.

Thank you for helping to save Scooter!

We look forward to posting more school events and news in the fall. Have a safe and happy summer and don't forget to use sunscreen!
