We headed out to Twin Peaks Elementary School and saw how well these newer schools are doing! There are loads of young families just outside of Tucson and they are getting a great education out at Twin Peaks!

We came out again for the younger kids this time and it was a blast! Lots of fun as they filled up a part of the MPR and we went through “Our Amazing Oceans!” The students had the chance to hold shells and models and bones and shark fossils! They were well mannered and respectful! Such a great feeling sharing with them! We cant wait to come back next year!

Two solid days out at White Elementary School! And we loved every minute of it! The kids were all so wonderful and engaged! They seemed to really want to learn about the ocean (this is WHY we do what we do!) We saw the whole school again and it was fun bringing out new artifacts that we have found so the kids could enjoy them! We try to bring new information and new artifacts year to year so the kids don’t get bored!

We look forward to coming back again and we will have even more artifacts for them!

We are going back to White Elementary School to conduct 2 whole days of presentations! It will be a blast as we show them new things and get them thinking about the ocean!
