Students in K – 8 explored in scientific detail and cleaned up a small creek near the school. Study of the riparian and grassland ecosystems and the native wildlife led to the creation of six mosaic panels installed on the outside walls of the school. Funding was received through a “Learn About Your City” grant from the City and County of Denver.
