Helene Weinstein secured funding for "Super Science Day" at the Aquarium for over 900 third grade students from 35 classes and seven schools. In the weeks before the event, aquarium educators went to each of the schools introducing the students to the world of jellyfish and other marine invertebrates. Finally the big day arrived! For the excited 8 year olds (and the lucky adults who accompanied them) it was a spectacular day of observing and actually handling marine animals, painting sea stars, learning interesting biofacts and attending the Sea Lion demonstration show. In appreciation for their special day, Helene received wonderfully written and beautifully drawn thank you letters and pictures which are on display in the Community Office.
