Future Writers!!!

Hello there!

We would like to know if there are any students interested in becoming writers or interested in learning the different careers available to writers. This opportunity is for high school students (grades 9-12). Students will be taken on a trip to SONY STUDIOS where they will watch a film and hear the elements needed to become a writer.

Let me know if you want to go.

Science Festival

The Science Festival was one of our many ways of celebrating Earth Day. We went to Agoura Hills to learn about several plants that live in Mediterranean climates. We also learned the different type of uses these plants serve to animals, humans, and to earth. Students were involved in the lesson by asking questions and taking notes. We participated in a scavenger hunt to learn quirky things about animals that live in the wild. Many live animals were on display, allowing the children to touch them. Finally we closed our day with a spider hunt. We caught spiders from under rocks, tall grass, and off trees to help collaborate in scientists' studies. If the spider was new, they would be named after us.

Last week UNH came to visit us i had fun I played basketball with Joe and Greg it was fun i hope they can come again

University of New Hampshire Students Visit

A BIG THANK YOU to all the UNH students who came by to visit us, played with the students, and celebrated Brandon's birthday. They had basketball competitions and helped out with homework. We are very grateful for meeting this group and thankful for Michelle making this happen.

The Blazers Learning Center will be taking several trips in March and April.

This past Sunday, March 14, the students went to the World Water Day held at the Natural History Museum. There were booths and activities that promoted the the protection of L.A.'s water resources. Children danced and played instruments and were admitted into the Museum.

On March 21, the children will attend a free cultural workshop at the Satwiwa Native American Indian Culture Center, Celebrating the Spring Equinox.

Interested in Science???
We are! That is why, on April 17, we will attend the 1st Annual Science Festival in Agoura Hills.

Stay tuned!

gardening

They Got US!!!

Well todays post is really just a big THANKS!!! A big THANKS to people who work hard to give back to the community in spite of events such as the one that took place at the Center last weekend. Late last Friday night, we believe, some one or some group of people broke into the Center and stole all of our computer screens. Im sure there is a method to the madness, but it still doesnt make sense. Now since I have been actively involved in helping my pops write grants and help keep the tech lab open, operating and with the most current programs and equipment, I find it EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY difficult to understand how it becomes necessary to destroy some of the precious...my words....resources in the commuinity...regardless!!!!....Many organizations in the community are working hard and struggliging to provide services and programs FREE of charge in the community. Therefore events such as vandalism and robbery only increase the obstacles and make the journey that much more difficult. Therefore, I again want to say THANKS to all of you who continue to work and hard and make communities better places for all of the familes who live there
