Baturday News is a weekly blog written by Rachael, a 7th grade student and Save Lucy volunteer. Rachael’s interest in bats was sparked by the big brown bats that used the outside of her former home for a winter roost. Her family cheerfully hosted the wild colony for years.

Hi Everyone! I am sooooooo happy that it’s almost summer! School will be out next week! And then it will finally be summer vacation! I still have a bunch of final exams to take. I’m not very happy about that. Personally, I think that all bat lovers should be excused from all school exams from now on. I think that’s a splendid idea! Perhaps someone could tell the superintendent. Please!

The bats are also happy that it’s almost summer. They like the nice weather (as long as it doesn’t get too terribly hot). All the bats at Save Lucy were so happy that they combined their skills to write a poem! Please be a little forgiving here…English is their second language, you know.

Summer

Summer, summer, summer
You could not be more funner

Mealworms all day
We all like to play

Out of the sun
It’s a lot of fun

Flying around
We have never frowned
