Thanks to the grade 1 students at Rose Avenue Public School for their great artwork and postcard messages for Lucy the elephant. Here are some of the messages that the students wrote after learning about Lucy living alone in the Edmonton Zoo:
Lucy needs sun. Lucy needs water. Lucy needs grass. Lucy needs friends.
Lucy needs friends and a home. Lucy wants to go to a sanctuary.
Lucy needs friends and the sun and a mud pool and grass and trees.
Sanctuary. Yes.
The city of Toronto and the Toronto Zoo have recently decided that the elephants in our zoo should be moved to a sanctuary. Hopefully Edmonton decides the same for their lone elephant, who is about to face another winter in the cold and snow.
