Announcements – Thursday, September 12

September 12, 2024

Good morning, Blue Wave. Today is Thursday, September 12th.

Wildlife on Campus

This morning, one of our natural neighbors, a fox, ran through the cafeteria area. He was simply looking for scraps to eat. Our understanding is that someone who lives near PK has been feeding the fox family, which is a very bad practice. When wild animals depend on humans for their food, they are at a huge disadvantage.

We share this 33 acres with many members of the Animal Kingdom. And sometimes our paths cross. If you see a wild animal, such as the fox this morning, the best response is to give it its space. There is no need for hysterics. In fact that frightens the animals and might make them act in ways that they might not otherwise behave.

One way that you can help is to pick up all your trash and dispose of it properly after breakfast and lunch, especially food scraps or wrappings that have food scents on them. These items, often left behind at lunch and breakfast time, are attractive to our animal, friends, even though they are not healthy for them to eat. Please do your part to keep our campus clean and wildlife friendly.
