Open Classroom visits Santa Cruz Island

The "goal" for me this past year at open classroom was to introduce students to the national park they look at everyday but is an ocean crossing away.  Since my son has graduated from middle school i will no longer be volunteering at this school's location. However, i can comfortably say that the parents and teachers felt engaged by the final field trip. Of course this type of excursion is not everyone's cups of tea, but those who went got to find out in personal experience which i am so thrilled about. The middle school science teacher Jeff hopes to start a hiking club, and wow what a great location the islands are for this! It was an awesome year, thnx OC.
