Welcome back from your well deserved Easter Break, I hope you all feel renewed, refreshed and ready to complete this school year in the greatest possible way.
There are a couple exciting field trips that your child(ren) will no doubt find exciting, fun and educational. The 7th and 8th graders will once again be working with Civil and Environmental Engineering students from UCLA. This is my eighth year working with Professor Jay and her students and in each year the program has continued to improve. The 7th grade students are scheduled to visit Santa Monica Beach on Friday, May 6th. Once there they will obtain several ocean water and sand samples which they will then use to study bacteria levels. Then, scheduled for the following Friday, UCLA will be on our campus to analyze and interpret the samples, and on May 13th we will visit UCLA to present our findings to several UCLA professors and students.
I'll do my best to keep you posted about our research and discoveries.
