Whales —
Classroom Project
| – |
Seals are available
to San Francisco schools to provide students an opportunity
to enjoy learning about the mammals that are a wonderful
local treasure. On request, a wooden seal silhouette about
4 feet tall will be delivered to the school with a $100
check (for supplies and participation). The number of
wooden seal silhouettes is limited.
The seal will be painted with any design decided upon
by the students. The classroom must then write a short
story, fact or fiction, of at least one page in length,
about their seal or seals in general [see
"Fishy Facts"].
The decorated seal and the stories written by the students
will be delivered to the Fair Office at the Cannery at
2801 Leavenworth Street, San Francisco, CA 94133. All
students participating in decorating the seal will receive
a participation ribbon. The painted seals will be part
of the Parade of Seals at the Fair. Grand prizes will
be awarded to 3 seals chosen by Fair officials. |
