Green Chimneys also cancels Birds of prey Day 2020
It is times like these that offer a new understanding of the word “community.”
Many of us consider our community to consist of those we see or interact with regularly; social groups, coworkers, shop owners, team coaches, and so on. But community can apply to a shared experience, a reminder that we are truly part of something bigger.
Green Chimneys School closed on March 16, in accordance with all orders from our county and state. Prior to that we had eliminated public access to our campuses, taking every precaution we could against the spread of COVID-19.
Our commitment to the Green Chimneys community – our staff, our students, their families – is to ensure the safety and well being of all who come here. I am honored to work with such a talented group of individuals who have demonstrated this from the moment we began to plan our response to a rapidly escalating situation.
Since then, we have implemented policies and procedures to provide continuity of school instruction, full residential services, therapeutic support to our students and their families, care for our animals, and overall agency operation. I am grateful for what our staff, across all areas of the organization, have done during this unprecedented time.
Out of the utmost concern for the health and safety of the community, we have also decided to cancel Birds of Prey Day 2020. We are indebted to the falconers, wildlife rehabilitators, animal experts, sponsor, special guests and attendees for making this event a beloved tradition. We know Birds of Prey Day 2021 will be spectacular.
In any season, under any circumstance, the health and well-being of Green Chimneys students and animals remains our primary focus. You, too, can support our children and animals with a gift to Green Chimneys.
