Hoke students visit North Carolina Zoo Hoke County sent 690 school children to the North Carolina Zoological Park during the 1984-85 school year. For the last two years, a total of 86 North Carolina counties have sent over 100,000 students to the state zoo. During . the '84-'85 school year 58,423 students from kindergarten through college utilized the zoo which has been called North Carolina's most celebrated classroom. "The main advantage in bring- . ing students to the North Carolina Zoo is the way the plants and animals are exhibited in very natural habitats," explains Dr. Jayne Owen, education coor dinator. "Students gain a real understanding of animals because they can actually see at the zoo what their teacher has explained in the classroom." Organized school groups have been a part of the zoo's education program since 1974. Since that time over 760,000 students have been admitted free to the zoo to study exotic plants and animals. The zoo is located six miles southeast of Asheborooff ILS. 64, U.S. 220 and N.C. 159. 10 a.m. - . SELECTED GROUP 25<7o to 50^0 off ?Small Pieces Of Furniture ?Lamps ?Kitchen Appliances ?Curtains ?
