In honor of World Autism Month, Achieve Academy of Escambia hosted a heartwarming and educational petting zoo event.

Students and staff came together to enjoy an unforgettable day of interacting with a wide variety of exotic animals and reptiles, including snakes, turtles, goats, lizards, and even a porcupine!

The hands-on experience fostered both a deeper connection with nature and a greater sense of understanding and acceptance.

“A heartfelt thank you to Sunset Wildlife Connection for bringing this incredible experience to life,” said Christopher Wooten, executive director of Achieve Academy of Escambia. “It was a joyful and unifying day for our entire community.”
