Have you heard about our feathered family?
A mother duck and her 13 ducklings are living in our courtyard, and we are lucky enough to have a front row seat to view the excitement.
The school is having a duck naming contest to celebrate!

| Mother Duck |
This is actually the second year this mother duck has visited the Spofford Pond courtyard.
Last year, her ducklings fell into the storm drain, which is now safely covered up.
Thankfully, Mr. Whiteneck was able to come to their rescue. He safely scooped the ducklings up with a net and they were free to line up and follow their mother around, like good little duckings do.
Of course, the next problem was how to get them to the pond across the street. Since the mother kept leading her duckings to the door, a few teachers had the idea to open it up to see if they would follow her through the hallway and out toward the pond. They did!
It was a happy ending to an exciting adventure for the ducks and the school!

We are hoping that this year the story will have a similar ending.
Stay tuned...
