Poster Contest

for 3rd - 6th grade classes

We are delighted that your class will be touring the tidepools of Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. The chance to see and learn about marine creatures in their natural setting is always a thrill for children.

It is our hope that in the preparation for and follow-up to your visit, you will emphasize that every visitor has a responsibility to preserve this unique and fragile habitat and to protect the animals and plants which inhabit it. We invite your students to share this message with others by designing an entry for our poster contest. See details below.
