Two manatees are seen swimming underwater. One is munching on some seagrass from the ocean floor. The text reads: โ€œManatees eat 100 to 200 pounds of seagrass a day!โ€

A family is posing at their daughterโ€™s highschool graduation for a photo. There is a bright blue sky and a park behind them. From left to right:

The daughter is wearing a red graduation gown with a white dress underneath. In her hands she holds a bouquet of flowers and her highschool diploma. She has long curled black hair and a gold pendant around her neck. 

The dad is standing behind her wearing a red and blue plaid shirt with sunglasses resting on the collar. He has pale blonde hair and hazel eyes. 

The mom is wearing a red button-up dress matching the daughterโ€™s graduation gown. She has long and straight blonde hair and blue eyes. Her arm is resting on her sonโ€™s shoulder. 

The son is wearing a black polo shirt and stole his sisters graduation cap, which he wears on his head. He has dusty blond hair and is smiling with his cheeks dimpled. In his hand is a flower from the bouquet his sister is holding.

A duck crossing guard helps four little ducklings cross the street. Each of the ducklings has a backpack like they are going to school. The crossing guard duck has a bright green mallard drake head, and is holding a โ€œduck x-ingโ€ (crossing) sign. He is blowing a whistle while wearing a reflective vest. 

The text reads: โ€œTweet! Tweet! The crossing guard helps the ducklings get to school safe.โ€
