Attention 4th grade teachers: Murray Elementary 4th grade is planning a bio blitz, and your class is invited to participate! If interested, please share the following letter from Murray with your students.

Dear Albemarle County 4th graders,

Murray Elementary 4th grade is planning a bio blitz. A bio blitz is a group of people coming together to count different animal species and plants—a group of people looking for biodiversity. We had an idea to try getting as many Albemarle County schools as we can to bio blitz. That way we could learn about the plants and animals in our county. We will have our first bio blitz on October 7, from 12:30 to 2 in the afternoon. You would spend the afternoon outside in your schoolyard counting species. Please contact us if you are interested before September 30.

We would also love to Skype with your class to share more of what we have learned. Please let us know if you are interested in Skyping.

Sincerely,
The Murray 4th grade
