South Miami Senior High School

On April 21 we went to Miami Metro Zoo for our CBI experience. Our students engaged in a real hands on experience. We toured the zoo, rode the monorail, had a picnic lunch and enjoyed the petting zoo. Our CBI driver not only took us, but stayed with us and formed bonds with our class. Metro Zoo has discounted rates for MDCPS. Since our numbers in our Autism program are usually below the minimium required for discounts, I wrote a letter and we received reduced entrance rates, free entrance for teachers and paraprofessionals, and discounted prices for the monorail. We had a designated picnic space and the Zoo was very accommodating to us. For contact information see the website www.miamimetrozoo.com
