Centennial HS Water Discovery Program 2/28/12

Thank you to the students from Centennial High School that participated in the Water Discovery Program on Tuesday, Feb. 28. As part of the program, the students did a service learning project in the demonstration garden. Students helped with weeding and removal of some fencing. We appreciated all of their hard work and hope they enjoyed learning about the wetlands during their visit.

Santiago High School Service Learning

Thank you Santiago High School students for helping to plant the succulent demonstration garden.   As part of their Water Discovery field trip, the students planted over 130 succulents in the demonstration garden.  Great Job! For many of the students this was their first time using a shovel or planting in a garden. Thank you for helping improve the park.
