Help Elmhurst Academy Rescue and Rehabilitate Illinois' Raptors

The funds raised will help support continuing educational programs and future rehabilitation.

Submitted by Elmhurst Academy.

Area residents can help support Elmhurst Academy’s school mascot, a Great Horned owl named “Ulysses,” just by purchasing apparel printed with the majestic bird’s image.

Ulysses is fostered by Elmhurst Academy through the raptor sponsorship program at the Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab & Education Center in Loves Park, Illinois. In addition to caring for Ulysses and other raptors at the Center, the funds raised will help support continuing educational programs and future rehabilitation. Sustainability and environmental consciousness are important parts of the curriculum at Elmhurst Academy.
