THANKS TO EDITH ALVAREZ CHILDCARE LIFE SPECIALIST
FOR COORDINATING THE NEW WHIRLYBIRDS VISIT.
THE WHIRLYBIRDS PRESENTED A SPECIAL "WHIRLYBIRDS EPISODE ABOUT A YOUNG BOY WHO IS BEING BULLIED BY A GANG AND INSULTED AND TEASED FOR CLAIMING TO KNOW THE WHIRLYBIRDS. THE WHIRLYBIRDS LAND ONE DAY TREAT THE BOY LIKE THEIR LONG LOST FRIEND AND TO THE AMAZEMENT OF THE TOUGH GUYS WATCH HIM FLY AWAY FOR A RIDE OF HIS LIFE.
AFTER WATCHING THE EPISODE A VERY SICK GROUP OF KIDS RECEIVED A SPECIAL PROMISE THAT "OLE RED WOULD SOME DAY SOON FLY BY THEIR WINDOW AND MAYBE LAND AT THE HELIPAD."
