SMUS Junior School once again invited us into their classroom to help launch their Grade 4 Ocean Science Unit! 🌊🤩

To start off this unit, each student chose a local marine animal to research alongside different ocean threats that might be affecting them. Then, for their main projects, each student recorded a podcast highlighting their research and created laser cut pins in the shape of their marine animal. 🦀🐋

On Sunday May 31st, the grade 4’s joined us at the World Ocean Day Celebration at Fisherman’s Wharf to engage and educate the public about their research, all while collecting donations for their beautiful pins! Over the course of the day, they raised $1019.86!!!! 🎉🙌🏼

That is a huge accomplishment and we are so grateful to be the recipients of their hard-work! Thanks to their enthusiasm and dedication, their donation will help go towards maintaining our local school programs and will allow us to continue to spread sustainable education throughout the community. ✏️🌎

From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you Grade 4’s!
