You've Had Worse Last days of School

Ok, so it was your last day of school and you had to work your poor little fingers to the bone. You've had worse days, right? I thought it was great fun. I am so glad you were able to come and have fun cleaning and feeding critters. I am so proud of you all for the hard work you put in on the toads this year.
THANK YOU!
Have a great summer everyone. If you can come to the aquarium this summer, bring your friends. Then you can wow them with all of the great things you learned while you were here today. Dazzle them with what you know about quarantine, diving and how big Moon jellies can get.
Thanks again for all you've done. I have REALLY enjoyed it!!! I hope you did. Remember to take care of our wetlands to protect all of those frogs, toads, fish and all of the many other animals you have learned about during this project.

Release

Well everyone, you did it. Our little toads are on their way to having a happy, hoppy, healthy life in their new home. We saw so much diversity in plants, birds, fishes, frogs...it looks like the perfect place for them. Good Job. You gave them a great head start in life.

Mrs. Ussary's class at Mary C. Williams is the winner of the husbandry contest. Her class gets to come to the aquarium and do my job one day. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
It was a really hard decision! There were other classes that had perfect scores on their tanks, so we had to decide who had gone above and beyond to award some bonus points. Mrs. Ussary was the winner.
Again, Congratulations!!!
When they are here working away as aquariusts, I will take more pictures and post a slideshow, so be sure to watch.

Almost everyone has toadlets now. Those of you who didn't have this morning will tonight or tomorrow morning, it looks like.
GREAT job everyone! I am really excited about how well this is going. Before you know it, it will be time to release those little guys.
