Meet our newest rescues! These five angelfish were in desperate need of some TLC, and we were so happy to step in and help. Our Aquarium Club’s student volunteers spent hours cleaning and shutting down the tanks of a community member in need. The angelfish were safely relocated and are now swimming happily in an educational setting, in Room 229 at HHS. Seeing live organisms thriving in a biology classroom makes all the hard work worth it. We're so proud to be part of a community that cares!
