• St. Cyril Elementary School. Tucson, Az
• 80 students – 3rd and 4th grade
• “Our Amazing Oceans!”

Our second time at St. Cyrils! We had a blast with the 3rd and 4th graders! They were all very attentive and full of questions! The kids listened as we talked about inverts, fish and marine mammals! They worked to come up with ways to save the sea turtles and polar bears! I know that these kids can grow up and help endangered animals come back from the brink of extinction!

    I look forward to coming back and working with some of the older students as well!

Back at Laguna Elementary School for “Shark School!” kids love sharks (fear and curiosity) so we always get great attention when we do this presentation! The students were bright and had a fantastic understanding of science and the ocean! We also talked about conservation and how they can help keep sharks in our oceans for generations to come!

Having fun while learning!

We had a great time out at Gallegos Elementary School! These students were loads of fun, attentive and bright! Many had already gone to the ocean before and had developed a love of the water early on! That always puts a smile on my face! There were lots of great questions at the end of the presentation also! Great young scientific minds at work! We look forward to going back soon!

Spreading the word about Polar Bears!

What a great day out at the Zoo! Lots of great kids and their families were out for the event and we spoke to them about polar bears,the zoo and conservation issues! Wonderful to see so many concerned citizens learning what they can do to help our planet! (and in turn POLAR BEARS!)

There were lots of teen volunteers out at the Zoo and it was amazing to know they are all dedicated to helping the zoo and the animals being cared for! We had the pleasure of meeting Gus (Tie and all!) who recently went to Churchill, Alaska on scholarship to see polar bears first hand! Loads of energy backed by a love of polar bears and the environment! A great ambassador for these animals!

Having Fun while Learning!

Lots of fun and learning at the Sonaran Science Acadamy for the 1st and 2nd graders! We covered so many areas of marine life and had the chance to talk about what they can do to help keep our oceans clean and healthy! The students were really well mannered and paid great attention! Sometimes we worry that young kids can’t keep focused for an hour at a time, but these students showed that they certainly can!
