We are hiring for a Field Services Technician-in-training position💦
Under close supervision, the Field Services Technician-in-training performs a wide variety of manual labor tasks associated with the maintenance and repair of wastewater collection and treatment facilities. This position is the entry level class in the Field Services Technician series.
Check out how kindergarten teacher, Nancy Jois will apply her Teacher Grant at Capri Elementary 🍎
This project will teach kindergarten classes about the water cycle, erosion and landscaping in our dry Southern California climate.
With this grant, students will create models of individual water cycles, use their models to demonstrate the concept of erosion, and add plants to the school campus rain garden to help prevent erosion/ water runoff into a storm drain.
Learn how science teacher, June Honsberger, will utilize her Teacher Grant this year at La Costa Canyon High School 🍎
This water use project will have students design and plant trees in an unused space to create an outdoor classroom. When students return to campus, outdoor spaces will be used as classrooms.
The science students will research native trees to discover which varieties will grow in our climate and how to maintain them. Once students return to campus, they will plant the trees and assemble the work tables/benches.
