Chicago’s iconic Willis Tower is illuminated red to celebrate Public Schools Week! The undeniable energy and beauty of our city resonates in our public schools and inspires our communities to shine. #PSW24 Photos by public school defender, parent and educator Beto De Freitas.
The pup and his cup ... a series. 🦦 New this season ... yellow edition. 💛
What better way to celebrate the holiday weekend than with the otter pup? 🦦 Watch as he munches on a crunchy, icy treat. Ice is more of an interactive treat for the sea otters, rather than a source of hydration because they get all the water they need from their food. 🧊

Lights out, cats in, bird tape up. Tonight is going to be a HUGE night for migration across Illinois. 1) Lights attract and disorient birds➡️more collisions. 2) Cats like to hunt easy, stunned prey. 3) Making your windows bird friendly is the best thing you can do to help birds.
