Nine-year-old Jessica Rendleman travelled from Greensboro, N.C. to CMA for a very special meeting with Winter. Last year, she entered Scholastic’s “Meet Winter the Dolphin Contest.” More than 500 kids across the nation applied and only one grand prize winner was chosen. After spending the morning with Winter, Jessica said, “This is the very best day of my life. Meeting Winter was so amazing. She is such a special dolphin.” This was the first time Jessica has met a dolphin.
Jessica entered the contest because during the most difficult of times, dolphins have always made her smile. When she was younger, she had cancer and had to have several surgeries. In between visits to Johns Hopkins Hospital, her parents took her to see dolphins at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Since then, Jessica has always loved dolphins and wants to be a marine mammal veterinarian when she grows up. As a special surprise, she also got to have lunch with the CMA trainers to learn more about what it’s like to work with dolphins.
As Scholastic’s grand prize winner, Jessica received a trip to visit Winter, a one-night stay at the Sandpearl Resort, a $500 travel voucher, a Winter prize pack and a Nintendo DS Game system. Ten runners-up received a copy of Winter’s Tail, a Winter Nintendo DS game and a Winter plush doll.
