Whale Bones Donated to The Fin Foundation!

April 21st, 2009

We had a great surprise today when the Kino School donated a large number of bones  from a fin whale!  These bones were originally used by another education group and given to the Kino school several years ago. Jack Prohaska realized that The Fin Foundation could really make an impact on students across the Southwest by using the bones in  presentations so he passed them along to us! We are honored that the school trusted us with these bones and know that we will be able to do some great work with them in the future!

  • Kino Learning Center
  • Small group of students, mixed grades, high school presentation
  • Sea of Cortez, ocean overview and conservation

We had a great presentation at Kino School this morning!  Spoke with a small group of mixed age students who had some really amazing questions and were very attentive! Many had done special ocean projects that went hand in hand with the items we brought to discuss in the presentation! Lots of interest in the squid and narwhal! The Great White Shark jaw was a big hit also! And what a surprise! The Kino school donated  several whale bones that they have had for quite a while to the Fin Foundation for use in our efforts to bring the ocean to the classroom! Looking forward to using the fin whale rib bones in future presentations! Thanks Jack and all the great students at Kino!
