Some Wawa students have mobilized to help turtles.
The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon says Grade 5 students at Ecole Saint-Joseph in Wawa approached teacher Kelsey Boisvenue after learning about the endangered Eastern Musk Turtle, presenting posters and ideas for helping the turtles, and Boisvenue - along with Annette Morden - obtained a turtle adoption kit, with the students learning about a turtle the Ontario Turtle Conservation Center found, rehabilitated, rescued, and freed.
The students also involved their families and friends, with events held via Facebook to raise funds for the organization, including selling cupcakes and key chains in the shape of a turtle.
