A new school year for WHALES!
The 2007-2008 school year has just started, and we're excited to start training a whole new batch of Watershed Heroes! Now there are many ways you can participate in WHALES, as a student, teacher, volunteer, sponsor, or partnering agency. See how you can get involved in this exciting outdoor education program. Come out to one of our upcoming field trips to see what WHALES is all about:
- May 29: Final Project: Community in Action with Orange HS
- June 3 & 4: Final Project: Community in Action with Costa Mesa HS
- June 9: Final Project: Community in Action with Santiago HS
- June 10: Marine Life and Pollution with Chavez HS
Background:
We believe every high school student can be a "Watershed Hero!" That's why Coastkeeper created W.H.A.L.E.S.: Watershed Heroes- Actions Linking Education to Stewardship. The program is designed to introduce high school students to watershed and ecological concepts through in-class exercises and field trips at no cost to schools.
2007-2008 WHALES Participants:
- Costa Mesa High School
- Santiago High School- Garden Grove
- Orange High School
- Rancho Alamitos High School- Garden Grove
- Chavez High School- Santa Ana
- Centennial High School- Corona
- Beckman High School- Tustin
2006-2007 WHALES Program (pdf) : Last year Coastkeeper was thrilled to expand the WHALES program to 8 schools-- that means over 450 students in Orange and Riverside county trained to be Watershed Heroes!
