Dearest Academy!
You fill my boring days of napping, counting toys and drinking milk with excitement! I am turning 2 soon and I hope I get to spend more time with you before I get dragged into pre-k. I love everything that you have and all the people that spend their time making the Academy the best place for everyone to visit! Happy Valentine's Day
Love, Aristotle

Dear Staff
Thank you so much for all of your great exhibit planning; I always leave with new ideas for my students. As I'm not local, I love the aquarium@home! A special thank you to the library people too. And the animals: the penguins, everyone in the aquarium, especially the jellies and rays.

Dear Earthquake Exhibit,
You shake my soul. Every time my kids drag me to you, I have to still my beating heart because my heart is like, beating very, very fast. Inside, we all cling to your metal-bar thingy as you quake and rumble because, wow, you are really a mover and a shaker. Honestly, you can be a bit intense, but you are exceedingly well-designed and highly educational. Still, relationships are about feelings and every time I leave you, I feel so very happy and relieved and ALIVE! I nearly skip away to go see the butterflies and I appreciate them all the more for our brief, terrifying time together. Thank you for reminding us all of the beauty and fragility of everything that surrounds us.
Hopefully we meet again, but not for a good long while, Chantal

Dear Claude
I love you. I came to visit you for my birthday because you are the best alligator ever. You are very cute. I have never seen an albino alligator before and you are the best!
