Wooster & Masna Collaberation

Rougiem · 07-24-2006, 02:41 PM

An Exciting Update!

I would like to share a wonderful collaberation that will be happening to the school tank. Steve Bentz - Vice President & Dir. of Fundraising/Scholarships for MASNA is personally adopting our tank for the purposes of this organization and will be working directly with me to enhance the Wooster High School Marine Reef experience.

I want to personally thank him and MASNA for "taking" us on. This will greatly facilitate our use of the tank and give us a very focused use for the tank.

I would also like to thank Billy for getting me in contact with Steve!

To give you some background I will share some information on an article from Steve:

"In the meantime, I have adopted two schools to monitor on a regular basis who are planning to report progress on their reef tanks throughout the year. One school is a day care center located in Rhinelander, Wisconsin which houses a 150 Gallon reef tank and the other is Wooster High School located in Reno, Nevada area which is home to a 200 Gallon reef tank. As part of our continued effort to highlight our efforts to assist with the education of our youth in the hobby, MASNA will be reporting the progress of these and other youth learning experiences in our quarterly Marine Scene with hopes to expand the Scholarship Fund web page area to allow the posting of each schools progress and will provide hyperlinks to their web pages to view their journals as soon as is possible.

Please feel free to visit our website at www.masna.org and if you are in the industry or a hobbyist who would like to donate funds or products to be used by schools such as those listed above, please contact me at either stevebentz@hotmail.com or vp@masna.org for more information!"

We will use ReefSanctuary which has so graciously given us a forum here to keep continued updates on our progress!

Cheers!

Please contact me or Steve if you have any questions.

Just some updates!

School starts on Monday and I will as I did last year, have students begin to sign on to RS. I have a much better sense of things this year and have the opportunity to use a teacher at our school (She is called a instructional coach now) to assist me with further ideas on how to use the tank more effectively this year.

I make this promise to all of you ~ Students will be posting in our forum and will have some direction. I look forward to the new year and all the FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL PEOPLE HERE TO ASSIST US!

Cheers!
