The online portion of Mystic Aquarium - Sea School Fundraiser 2011 is now closed. Our live auction event is Friay May 13, 2011
Auction winners will be notified if they are highest bidder on Monday, May 15, 2011.
All proceeds benefit our Sea School Program, the first and only licensed preschool housed in an aquarium in the country! Sea School's unique and hands on curriculum aims to instill a love of learning that each Sea Schooler will carry with them long after their preschool years. Your child will be introduced to all areas of development with activities that aim to focus on math, language and literacy, science and cognitive development.
The program serves as a first taste of what school will be like, but is also a great enrichment program for youngsters already enrolled in a preschool. What better place to have children explore their natural curiosity than at an aquarium where live ocean critters are living all around them?
Auction items range from exotic vacation getaways to donated items guaranteed to delight and surprise. So, tell your friends, family, community. Let the bidding begin!
