For some, the thought of being in the same room with snakes is
enough to evoke panic, but not for Liberty second-graders!
On November 4, second grade students at Liberty Elementary
School were visited by professional snake handler Jerry
Hillard of Snakeman's Snake Shows.
The “Snakeman” brought 15-20 snakes from around the world
and taught the students about their characteristics, habitats and
habits.
Students were able to get up close and even touch and hold some of
the tamer snakes. The program tied in nicely with their study
of reptiles and other animal groups and was generously funded by a
donation from the Celebrate Success Committee.
