The summer is underway!!!

So this is the first official week of the High School Intern Program! All the girls are starting this week and are off to a great start! There is a lot to learn, from the animals in the touch tank to how to hold a baby alligator to teaching visitors about sharks and sea turtles.

Each girl will be working 4 days a week, either having an afternoon or morning shift. For many of them, this is their first job experience and I know it will be a great one.

So far, I have seen them working well with visitors and with each other. They are up for trying new things and it is great to see them laughing and having fun.

So next time you stop by the Aquarium, keep your eyes out for the High School Interns and say hello - they will be happy to meet you.
