Still young at heart

June 1, 2018 by J.B.

It’s easy to tell when Missy intends to engage her best friend Annie in a sudden game or wrestle & chase. It’s not quite a smile on her face. It’s more like, “hold my drink…”

This morning, she chased Annie up and down and all around the play structure.

They play-punched and play-kicked while they each swung by one arm.

At one point, Missy almost caught Annie’s toes – the ultimate objective of every chimp game.

But Annie and her toes escaped to play another day.

When she was finished, Missy performed one of her best-ever leaping uneven bar dismounts…

…and stuck the landing. Can you believe she’s 42 years old?

Today is for Matt Hillman!

June 1, 2018 by Katelyn

Today was sponsored for Matt Hillman by his 5th grade students at Huff Elementary School! They shared this wonderful message about their gift:

“Years ago, Matt volunteered his time at the sanctuary and fell in love with the chimpanzees. Mr. Hillman’s 5th grade students would like to make a donation in honor of Mr. Hillman for the wonderful job he did teaching this school year!”

This is such a wonderful thing to do! To all of Mr. Hillman’s students, thank you for giving such a compassionate, thoughtful and inspirational gift. It gives us joy and hope to see such gratitude for your teacher and care for the chimpanzees.

Matt, thanks so much for sharing your love of the chimps with your students! All of us at CSNW hope you have a fantastic day!

Jamie is quite studious herself. She really loves books!
