De Luz Ecology Center began its 6th-grade program on outdoor survival skills tied to the Hatchet. Day 1, students focused on the importance of clean water for survival by examining macro-invertebrates in leaf packets from the Santa Margarita River and by creating water filters.

No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship. SMA invests in relationships! Thank you Mannah Gheb, FUESD Environmental Education Program
