Conwell students went on an all-day science zoo field trip for their school on Sept. 30, 2022.  

S. Montanez – section 62 talked to these reporters, while at the zoo. She said she liked the snakes and the alligators and the gecko in the Reptile House. 

“I liked the reptiles because their skin is scaly,”  S. Montanez said.

The Reptile House had a door with leaves all around it. Then when you go inside the door, it was a place with a lot of reptiles.

There were many other animals to see and smell, as well.

“I think it’s interesting because the things I smelled were different,” L. Vaught-82, said.  “My favorite animal was the animals that were in the water like the penguins and polar bears” 

However, this trip was not just about seeing animals.

“It’s not just about the Zoo,” Principal Green said before the trip, “It’s about science and learning different species.”
