LOVELAND, OHIO – Sixth graders at Loveland Intermediate School, Lynn Agee, Kate Eckels, and Charlie Dunlap present a check for $2,776.39 to Dr. Donald Kaufman.

Dr. Kaufman is Professor Emeritus of Zoology at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.

The students of the sixth grade raised money to help protect sea turtles by having “penny wars”. The money will go to the Tasbamym Education Center in Costa Rico. Tasbamym means, “Land that saw you born.”

Dr. Kaufman was a guest lecturer at the Intermediate School and taught about sea turtles and the rain forests of Costa Rico.
