My third grade class and their reef tank

This is totally awesome. You have some very smart and great kids! Learning through text books may not be fun, but it's so awesome when you actually get to apply what you've learned or actually see it put to use. Great job everyone!!!

The Tank Looks Awesome! Your Kids are doing Great! You sound like the kind of Teacher that your students will remember for ever! Very impressed they are Fragging Coral! Wow!

Simply awesome. What a great way to tie reading, writing, mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics and appreciation for the natural world all together in a fun way! You can be sure your students will remember this experience for the rest of their lives.

You know what your doing so this suggestion is probably pretty elementary. But have you exposed your local media to your project? I'm sure local TV & newspapers would find this project very interesting to their audience. This also might lead to getting some community support. Great job!

Great advice, our district actually has a full time PR spokesperson that is promoting our project but so far no significant donors. Most people don't understand how expensive reefing is.

There are a few local reef clubs that would likely be a great source of support.
