TME has been successful in securing funding for five teachers attending the summer workshop.

Please call 716-679-3419 or e-mail for more details. Funding awards will be to the first five eligible teachers submitting enrollment forms with a deposit for the trip.  Enrollment form may be downloaded from the list on the left side of this blog.

Trip Details Set!

The TME Workshop flyer with details and registration information is now available for download in the left margin. We will be staying at Turneffe Flats Resort on Turneffe Atoll in Belize, Central America. Trip dates are August 4-11, 2012.

The cost of the trip does not include airfare this year. Belize City Airport (BZE) is served by most US carriers and this will allow participants to choose their airline as well as flexible travel dates for trip extensions.

Participants may choose from either a snorkeling or diving package at the advertised price. A fishing option is also available for an additional fee. We do not have any grant funding for educators this year.

Please see the "Additional Info" section of the workshop flyer for a presentation date and contact numbers. If you are unable to download the flyer please email: Garrydole@aol.com.

Maybe this is the year you will take the plunge into tropical seas with TME!
