Mr. John Castro is a very cool teacher with a very cool class of fifth graders over at Earl Warren Elementary. This year, they are participating in the Splash Elementary Program: Investigating Vernal Pools.  

Check out the students' blog to find out what they've been doing to prepare for their field trip to the Splash Center.  Hear about this award-winning environmental science curriculum straight from the students who are using it to learn all about the vernal pools at Mather Field.

There was never a dull moment...

My wife and I spent a wonderful afternoon with Bill Corbett and his live birds of prey. There was never a dull moment with folks of all ages attending to enjoy this educational and entertaining [Nature in the Neighborhood] program. This was our first time at Splash since moving into the Mather in July. We will be telling our friends about this terrific program.
