Memorial Junior High School Students Go Behind
the Scenes with “Dawn Helps Save Wildlife” at Shedd Aquarium
Today students from Memorial Junior High School in Lansing, IL
went behind the scenes at Shedd Aquarium to see animal care and
recovery in action, as winners of Shedd and Dawn’s NextGen Animal
Responders contest. The Chicago-area contest, which was part of a
national in-classroom and web accessible STEM curriculum called
NextGen Animal Responders launched in January, encouraged teachers
and students to submit video entries to demonstrate their exemplary
efforts in the appreciation of wildlife conservancy and answer
simple questions about why preserving wildlife is important. As
grand prize winners, the class from Memorial Junior High School
received a special trip to Dawn’s wildlife partner Shedd Aquarium
to learn more about animal care and conservation, including
protecting and rehabilitating aquatic animals.

“Shedd has been committed to working with response and rescue
organizations globally for over 50 years and the urgency to protect
animals and their environments is greater than ever,” said Bridget
Coughlin, Shedd Aquarium president and CEO. “Dawn and Shedd
both share a similar passion for wildlife conservation as well as a
shared mission of educating and inspiring the world about the
wellbeing of animals, habitat conservation, and the health of our
oceans. We’re happy to see the students of Memorial Junior High
School working together and we hope their curiosity and interest
about the conservation and protection of wildlife continues
throughout their lifetime.”
Memorial Junior High’s winning video “Protect the Future of
Wildlife” asks viewers to take small steps towards protecting
wildlife such as cutting up plastic soda-rings before discarding,
using reusable grocery bags and properly throwing away balloons so
they don’t end up harming marine wildlife. During the field trip at
Shedd, the winning students interacted with rescued animals and got
an exclusive behind the scenes look at Shedd’s animal hospital,
Microbiome Lab, Caribbean Reef exhibit and more. To see the winning

“These students are the perfect example of how the next
generation of animal stewards can take a hands-on approach to
helping preserve and protect wildlife,” said Mandy Ciccarella, Dawn
Communications Manager. “Wildlife and environmental protection is
vital and important to the Dawn brand and we are proud to be
partners with Shedd Aquarium.”
Dawn and Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium national in-classroom and web
accessible STEM curriculum called NextGen Animal Responders
is part of the larger Dawn Helps Save Wildlife commitment with an
aim to connect teachers and students with a singular goal,
educating the next generation about the importance of wildlife
conservation.
