Friends and Family Night

So last night, we had our annual High School Intern Friends and Family Night. This an evening in which all the high school interns can invite guests to come to the Aquarium after hours and they can show off what they have been doing all summer.

The evening kicked off at 6:30pm with a meet and greet by the Great Ocean Tank in which we introduced each intern and recognized them for all their hard work this summer. It has been a lot of fun but the interns have also been invaluable to us during the busy summer time, educating our visitors and providing great customer service. There was food and drinks and interns took their families around to the exhibits, the touch tank, the trading post and the cart programs. They also had time to show off their animal skills by taking out the baby alligators and the snakes.

We also had a special guest for the evening - Jack Mitchell from AT&T. AT&T provided funding this year for the High School Intern Program and helped make these opportunities and experiences possible for our students. Thank you Jack and AT&T for your support of the Aquarium and the High School Intern Program!!! It was a great evening and a wonderful chance to meet the families of our interns. I hope everyone had fun!
