Bring Learning to Life with Aquatarium Field Trips!
Iroquois Public School
"AMAZING DAY!! We were so impressed from start to finish!! Bridgette was amazing, she thought of everything. We had an excited student that left the group, they heard me calling him and were so quick to help. It was communicated that this student might need some extra eyes. They were so patient with all of the questions the kids had. Bridgette was close for any questions that teachers had. She had an amazing suggestion to stretch the trip out 20 minutes more and load the kids on the bus easily. It was a fantastic day for our staff, volunteers, and students. Thank you for making this day amazing!!!"
St. Lawrence Academy
"The presenters adapted the beaver and river otter presentations to include habitats and living/non-living to accommodate our science units. Each station had excellent helpers and knowledgeable staff. The students and teachers thoroughly enjoyed themselves!!"
