This Orchard is only an hour away from Beverly and it is less commercial than some of the rest. We had a great time today. Submitted by Moira Borkovec.

Shedd Aquarium Program

High School Marine Biology 2007

This summer Gabrielle Pappas participated in a Shedd Aquarium program called High School Marine Biology (HSMB). Applications were available in January and she had to apply by last March. They have a maximum of 30 students in the program. She spent a week at the Shedd learning about marine biology then she went to the Bimini Islands which are down by the Bahamas. She spent a week on a Shedd research vessel called the "Coral Reef II". Then she had another 4 days at the Shedd after the trips were over. Only 10 kids at a time went on the trip. She loved it and learned so much. It is a very cool thing to do for any high school age teen that has a interest in marine biology. Now this fall she will be in their Camp Shedd Program. It is once a month for 4 times in the fall. Gabrielle wants to go to college and study Marine biology so this was a great experience for her. Submitted by Michelle Pappas

HOGWASH, An Improvised Tall Tale is a wildly unique improvisational extravaganza which integrates impro, storytelling, music, and art into one colorful hour of make believe theater. Driven by imaginations of audiences from walks of life, Hogwash dazzles young minds with what the Seattle Post-Intelligencer describes as "ingenious audience participation-tot entertainment" while keeping parents and teachers on their toes with a subtle peppering of "sly references that grown ups will appreciate," according to the Chicago Reader. Hogwash is truly a bonanza of interactive family theater which "gives kids a reason to squeal" according to Time Out Chicago for an unforgettable hour of what The Seattle Times deems "kid friendly with edge."
