FIN-TASTIC FEEDBACK

  • DISTANCE LEARNING

    FANTASTIC!!! I am going to try to fit one more in soon! Thanks, students loved it, so very different than what They are used to as we live in a rural, wooded wide open land setting. The information provided was grade appropriate, the students were very still and listening to every word.

    The Girl Scout Program at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center for Brownies and their Wonders of Water Journey was amazing. The staff was well-informed, presented well, and kept our Girls engaged throughout the hour and a half event. The Girls were asking questions and formulating solutions throughout the event and the hands -on activity for watershed and storm water runoff was a hit!

    Thank you for the wonderful presentation! As quiet as they were before, right now the discussion is roaring. They were given lots to think of and that is a great thing. Definitely will recommend this to others.

    The Girl Scouts can learn something new each time they visit the PMMC. As they are getting older, their depth of understanding of how they can effect their world around them grows every visit.

    Your center helps me so much with our adaptations and recycling standards. And Arizona children benefit from exposure to the people all over the world that share like interests! We are more similar than different in so many ways. Will contact you soon (after we edit and rewrite our Hedwig papers). Thanks again!

    This program was such an amazing addition to the class curriculum. It brought to life what the students studied and invited them to think beyond the basic facts they’ve learned about marine mammals and our role to keep the oceans healthy”
