BIDDEFORD, ME - October 5, 2005 - Touch Tanks for Kids is an all
volunteer, grass roots, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing
the education of marine environmental sciences in the
school system. Touch Tanks for Kids provides matching funds for
schools where children have become actively involved in the local
fundraising so that their classroom may acquire a Touch Tank complete
with a flexible teaching curriculum.
A Touch Tank is a long lasting (15-20 years), child friendly, aquatic
research and teaching tool. By effectively bringing the marine
environment indoors, a generation of students of all ages can
experience and appreciate the beauty and magic of the earth's eco-
system and discover the complexity of the symbiotic relationships that
helps keep the earth's environment in balance.
The Touch Tanks ever changing environmental lessons energize and
excite learning and teaching in both children and teachers alike. No
amount of literature can substitute for the actual recreation of the
ocean's environment within a classroom. In effect, Touch Tanks for
Kids brings the ocean to the kids.
Touch Tanks for Kids matches up to half the amount (,500.00) of the
cost of a new Touch Tank and also assists the children's school in
their fundraising endeavor.
In order to continue providing matching funds, Touch Tanks for Kids
kindly requests support in the form of donations from individuals,
small businesses and large corporations across America.
Educators interested in a matching grant or those interested in making
a rewarding donation may visit http://www.touchtanksforkids.org or by
calling 877-KID-TANKS.
