The Head Start and NREP preschool classrooms investigate the three R’s of the environment: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

The students at Northwestern Regional Education Programs (NREP) gathered in the gymnasium for a special assembly on Virginia wildlife. Jennifer Burghoffer, Manager of Education at BRWC, talked to students about the importance of the Wildlife Center, and how the Center is a hospital for injured, orphaned, or sick animals found in the wild.
