What a day! Instead of 140 kids we got to teach 254 very enthusiastic, eager to learn, intelligent elementary school kids at Brichta Elementary. The sea stars, sea urchins and kelp snails got a pretty thorough going over. They were "icky," "cool," "gross," slimy" and "really great!" according to the kids. Bob and I received Green Crusader certificates that proclaim: "We at Brichta strive to help raise globally responsible, environmentally aware citizens. Thank you for helping us open minds and raise consciousness!" We were honored. Thanks everybody. (Above left gooey seaweed comes to the desert.)
Tomorrow...Las Cruces, NM
Thank you so much for the exciting event at Brichta. Our students are designing reclaimation projects on our school grounds, active recyclers, becoming science citizens, and establishing our place as global citizens. We appreciate your dedication and thank you for allowing us to join you in the trek. Thank you again.
