With the support of the NEFGA members and the local community, 21 students set up donated aquariums. Twenty-five other students set up tanks via family supported funding. In addition, 17 other students, maintained tanks in the elementary and middle school classrooms and common areas.

Greg Billings, 6th grade science teacher, is again managing the Luther Burbank Aquarium Home loan Program" which has been renamed the "Baker Chery Aquarium Home Loan Program. This program seeks donations of aquariums and their needed components (filters, heaters, thermometers, etc.) so that students can try this wonderful science based hobby of raising tropical fish without making a huge investment. Do you have an aquarium or the needed supplies sitting in your cellar collecting dust? Do you have any interest in donating them to the Luther Burbank Aquarium Home loan Program? Contact Mr. Billings if you have any interest in donating or participating via email at gbillings@nrsd.net
