Hello, dear Parents!

There have been a couple of baby squirrels that have fallen from their nests in the large live oak in the front. They are ok besides puncture wounds and have been taken to the Austin Wildlife Rescue (the squirrel this morning was described as “chubby” by the volunteer and she predicted a full and fast recovery), but are injured from their fall and too scared, too much in shock, or too young to move from where they fall. If the babies are feisty, moving around, or making aggressive noises (that are so ridiculously cute), I can usually place the babies back in the tree for the momma squirrels to retrieve at a later time. Please come find me or call the school if you come across a baby squirrel on the ground and I’ll help it. If your child runs in the grass up front under the live oak, keep an eye out for little squirrels! They camouflage perfectly with the ground.
