I few weeks ago I went to the aquarium in manteo, the north carolina aquarium, to volunteer. I was there "shadowing" someone in the husbandry department feeding some of the water species there. Some of the time when i wasnt with bret i sat at the touch tank with fred a regular volunteer who educates the public about the sting rays, hermit crabs, etc. When i was with Fred he taught me all about the sting rays and how friendly they really are. Did you know that the only reason a sting ray will attack you is if you stop its motion by grabbing or stepping on it?? i didnt.

At Paint Lick Elementary, the children in the After School Program thought it would be a good idea to plant several trees around the school to improve our educational environment! So we got promission from our principal to plant seven trees all around our school. We picked out seven different areas that our trees would grow well in! One nice pretty day we went outside and dug holes and planted our trees. We water them if needed and watch them grow every week. Even though planting a few trees doesn't seem like a very big deal, the kids had fun being outside and playing in dirt and mud.
