First-grade students at Bridges Elementary School received a special lesson on how to use binoculars last Thursday, thanks to a visit from Andy Haffemann, a parent of one of the students. Haffemann, who works at Vortex Optics, a Wisconsin-based company known for its high-quality optical gear, introduced the eager young learners to the fascinating world of binoculars.
In an exciting collaboration, Vortex Optics generously donated twenty pairs of child-sized binoculars to the school. The binoculars will be used initially for the first graders’ upcoming bald eagle watching experience and will be available for use by the entire school for years to come.
Haffemann demonstrated how to properly care for the binoculars, adjust the focus, and utilize them to observe nature. "It’s important that the students understand how to use the binoculars so they can fully appreciate the beauty of the wildlife they’ll be observing," a staff member explained.
The students were thrilled with the hands-on lesson and are eager to embark on their bald eagle watching adventure next week. With their new skills and equipment, they’re sure to have an unforgettable experience spotting these majestic birds in their natural habitat.
Thanks to Vortex Optics and Andy Haffemann, the young learners at Bridges Elementary are now prepared to make the most of their nature exploration in the weeks ahead!
