#AllGritNoQuit #PiratePride #TCEFamily
Yesterday, our Pirates had an amazing opportunity to explore marine science careers through hands-on learning with several incredible guest presenters:
🐢 Olivia Redding – Sea Turtle Rescue Coordinator, Coastal Connections
Shared with kindergarten students how she helps protect and rescue sea turtles in our lagoon.
🌿 Jessica Hernandez – Education Coordinator, Environmental Learning Center (ELC)
Spoke with 1st and 2nd graders about the ELC’s work in environmental education, research, and conservation.
🏖️ Dakota Whelan – Coastal Specialist, Indian River Natural Resources Department
Engaged our 3rd–5th graders with real-world coastal restoration efforts and interactive sea turtle surveys.
We loved connecting our marine science focus to this year’s Teach-In and showing students the amazing careers that help protect our coastlines and local ecosystem. 💙🌎
