Many Thanks to all who donated their used or new bird field guide book(s) to The Texas Blue Jay Project Bird Field Guide Book Drive for Barrington Elementary Green Park School in NE Austin! You have inspired many new future young birders by your contribution(s)! Back in late February, I had sent out an email to fellow birders (TexBirds) requesting used bird field guide books for The Barrington Elementary Green Park School Celebration for March 24, 2018. I was overwhelmed by the generous donations from all over Texas. With your generous bird book donation(s) The Texas Blue Jay Project raised a total of 75 bird field guide books for the students at Barrington Elementary School. Thank you to all who made this happen for the kids! Special Thanks to The Rio Brazos Audubon Society and Travis Audubon Society for their support!
About 100 people attended The Barrington Elementary Green Park School Celebration on Saturday, March 24, 2018. This was their celebration for their new green space at their school campus. Along with several wonderful collaborators who made this possible for Barrington Elementary: Children in Nature of Austin, Westcave Outdoor Discovery, City Councilman Gregorio Casar, District 4, Austin Police Department, Austin Parks and Recreation, AISD Superintendent Dr. Paul Cruz, Dr. Stephen Pont, Nature Rocks Austin, Mrs. Gilma Sanchez, Barrington Elementary School Principal, and many others who joined ceremony celebration for Barrington Elementary Green Park School.

Thank you, Mrs. Gilma Sanchez, Barrington Elementary School Principal for having The Texas Blue Jay Project participate at The Barrington Elementary Green Park School Celebration! I would not have been able to do this without the help of several generous Texas birders! Thank you, Texas Birders!
