Mrs. Simpson’s fourth grade class raised money to adopt “Bender” from the Turtle Hospital for their teacher for her birthday. This is the second year that her class has raised money to adopt a sea turtle, but the first year they raised the money themselves!  The class is studying endangered animals and hopefully these bright young students can continue to raise awareness on the plight of sea turtles in the wild.

The Turtle Hospital staff would like to extend a very special thank you to Mrs. Simpson and her fourth grade class of 2009!
