The 7th grade at St. Theresa Catholic School made its annual trip to Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI) for a weekend of marine studies. Included in the program were two snorkeling sessions, squid dissection, and a night hike with an astronomy lecture. Hand-on science labs included plankton, algae, fish, shark, and invertebrate with touch tanks of leopard and horn sharks, bat rays, sea hares and star fish. This is the fifteenth trip that St. Theresa 7th graders have made to CIMI, and it was one of the best with warm weather and calm seas.
