This year, BioSITE has been excited to pilot a new program at Los Gatos High School to bring hands-on environmental science to Los Gatos students. Los Gatos Creek has an interesting story to tell, and it has been exciting for high school mentors and elementary students alike to discover the river ecology of their own back yard!
Congratulations Amelia DeLaPaz, AP Environmental Science Instructor, for your hard work and dedication in bringing this program to your students. Thanks to support from the Administration and Science Department at LGHS, Mrs. DeLaPaz was able to engage all four APES classes, roughly 120 high school students, plus 220 elementary BioSITE participants in learning about the river.
This program would not be possible without the cooperation of our community partners who have gengerously granted the use of their space. We extend our appreciation to the following:
- Caltrans (California Department of Transportation)
- Town of Los Gatos
- Federal Realty/Old Town Los Gatos
- History Museum at Forbes Mill
Thank you again to all who have supported Los Gatos BioSITE. We are looking forward to a future of rich learning along the river!
