Friday the thirteenth was a lucky day for students at Eagleton Elementary School in Maryville, TN.  Three volunteers from ABR visited the school and presented bear education programs to each grade level.  The school “adopted” an ABR bear cub, which they decided to name Raven, for their school mascot.  The volunteers presented a framed photo and an “adoption certificate” that will be on display in the office.  For the next couple of weeks, there will be a school-wide drive to collect coins to help feed the bear cub.  These photos were taken during the visit.
