Co-Curricular Programs

Elementary School Program: 

LEARNING ABOUT THE ECOSYSTEMS

​

Programs Completed: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024

Our annual education program has introduced over 150+ students in Title I, predominantly Hispanic California public schools to the importance of healthy wildlife and ecosystems. Our program complements environmental education at schools through "distance learning" with wildlife experts. Students learn about endangered species and efforts to protect them all over the world.

 

We've taken youth on virtual tours to meet rescued manatees, sea turtles, sloths, seals and bees at the Miami Seaquarium, the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, Costa Rica’s Kids Saving the Rainforest Rescue Center, the National University of Costa Rica's Bee Research Center and Zeehondencentrum Pieterburen, a seal rescue center in Holland, the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. 

​

We are grateful for the incredible enthusiasm of Principal Mabang and all the wonderful families and caregivers who enthusiastically support this very interactive and furry educational program. Thanks to Petroglyph Ceramic Lounge, who donated ceramic rain forest pieces for painting and firing to each student!
