My Project

Our classroom is in need of a 55 gallon aquarium to house Red-eared Mudslider turtles. My 7th grade students are very interested in caring for these turtles. They will be responsible for feeding the turtles, interacting with them, and cleaning the tank and filter system regularly.

Being one of the poorest school districts in the state of Ohio (80% free lunch), our school is unable to provide an aquarium for our classroom.

The turtles need a home. Please consider donating to help our under privileged students learn accountability and responsibility.
