ADOPT A SEA TURTLE
NATIONAL ADOPT A SEA TURTLE DAY In honor of National Adopt a Sea Turtle Day on November 27th , the therapy department adopted a Sea Turtle on behalf of The Orchards of Saxonburg through the World Wildlife Fund . Therapy teamed up with the activities department for a day filled with Sea Turtle facts , trivia , and a turtle race that became quite competitive . We looked at a map of Sea Turtles tracked by the Sea Turtle Conservancy and learned about the Tour de Turtles , where they see which turtle has swam the furthest . Residents voted on what to name our Sea Turtle and chose Marcella . There was a raffle drawing and the winner received the large stuff turtle that came with the adoption packet . If anyone wants to track a Sea Turtle you can go to https :// conserveturtles . org / sea-turtle-tracking / and to make a donation through WWF you can go to https :// www . worldwildlife . org / species / sea-turtle
