Heritage Students Care for Hundreds of Aquatic Creatures

Thanks to WSP Wild Ones Baseball,  FoodSmith, and Blue Sky Bookkeeping for their support.

Students participating in Marine Team at Heritage E-STEM Magnet School in West St. Paul showed off their aquatic know-how with an open house for the community.

“It’s very calming… the tank is like a tiny ocean.”

Marine Team By the Numbers:

  • Started in 2011.
  • 230 students involved this year.
  • More than 500 fish in 60 aquariums.
  • Around 50 snakes, lizards, and turtles.

More than fish: Marine Team has creatures well beyond the standard fish, including eels, sharks, tortoises, pythons, softshell turtles, geckos, skinks, frogs, and more.

Pace Automotive: Local, family owned auto repair. Personal, honest service.

“They have a personality of their own.”
