Josh the Baby Otter presentations were performed in all elementary schools in the Mat-Su Borough School District. This included 43 schools, including charter and alternative schools. The presentations include handing out books with stickers and coloring pages, reading the books, singing along with Josh the Baby Otter in a full size mascot costume, and then pledging "Never to go near the water without an adult." Presentations were performed during April and May, as the ice melts and kids are tempted to go near the water. 2. How many people benefited from this project? 1700 3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met?
