A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of presenting to a class at SF's Lick-Wilmerding High School. It is a very progressive and forward thinking high school that teaches through kinetic learning. They have a Center for Civic Engagement that has the whole student body get involved in some sort of civic duty. For Mr. Don Rozzi's Chemistry class, they had chosen the ocean/watersheds, beach clean-ups and surfing - which fits perfectly with Surfrider Foundation!
The presentation was held for a small but interactive audience of 6 students and Mr. Rozzi. It was a nice size since we had more time for questions and real one-on-one interaction. For example, Brendan was a very inquisitive student and had some great questions. The presentation consisted of a short introduction to what Surfrider Foundation is and what we do both locally and globally, the Surfrider Foundation's 'From Sea to Summit' educational video and last but not least a short PowerPoint presentation on Plastic - which can be found on the right below the picture slide show.
They were going to follow the presentation with a 2 day venture out surfing south of SF. Not a bad way to spend 2 days in school... kinda wish I would've gone to school there! :) I hope that they had fun, were safe and able to use the information given to use! Would love to continue to present either annually or every semester to L-W HS. Thank you Mr. Rozzi and students!
Cheers and happy learning plus surfing!
