On December 6, 2024, Generations 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade went on a field trip to Tarpon Springs Aquarium and Animal Exhibit. The students took a pink school bus. It was a 35 minute drive and arrived at about 10:15 a.m. Students met up with chaperones and divided into groups.
"We looked at bunnies, cows, pigs, and turkeys," said Noah DiGregorio.
Alejandro Valdivia, a fifth-grade student, said he liked seeing the Highland Cows. "They are cute, fluffy, and have horns," he said.
Baxton Hallamon was calm even when a python was wrapped around his neck for a photo and got near his ear. "I felt like it was trying to eat me," he said, "but I felt better when they took my picture, like it was my pet."
Holding the alligator was fourth-grader Camdyn Fairbank's favorite experience. "I wanted to take it home with me," he said. He loved holding the sharp-toothed reptile.
The aquarium had even more interesting things to see and do.
"We fed sharks," said Arianna Munitz, a fifth-grader who had never been to Tarpon's aquarium before, but had fun. Still, she said it was a little stinky.
The students also saw a scuba diver swimming in a giant fish tank. "It was cool, because she was underwater she pretended to be a pirate driving a ship."
"My favorite part was feeding the animals," fourth-grader Karolis Ivanauskas said.
The students ate lunch there and had a great time. They even got to visit the gift shop. Then, when they arrived back at school, they still got to have recess!!
