This year, Hackensack Middle
School raised money to provide a larger, more adequate home for
Shelly and Isador.
Team 7A's class
turtles were previously housed separately in plastic tubs, with individual
filters, basking platforms and heat lamps. The setup was
adequate for Isador, but was less than ideal for Shelly, due to her
large size. Her old tank left Shelly with very little room to
swim and no interaction with her fellow turtle friend, Isador.
Over the course of the first 4 months of school, the students and
staff at Hackensack Middle School raised enough money to provide
Shelly and Isador with a new huge, happy home. The two turtles
now swim together and get lots of exercise inside the tank....gone
are the days when Shelly needs to walk around the classroom to
stretch her legs!

To
raise the money for a new tank and supplies, I covered
textbooks at a price of $1 each since the start of the year. Both
Pathmark
stores in Hackensack
have generously
donated 200 bags to get us started in our fundraising efforts, and
many teachers at HMS have been going green, opting to bring their
groceries home in paper bags instead of plastic, to donate support
to our cause.
Shelly's Textbook Covering
Service
will be in operation throughout the school year, as any
money that exceeds our goal will be used to provide continuous care
for all of team 7A's class organisms (which includes our fish and
newly added plants).
