An easy-breezy 24 mile round trip ride to Brandon School in Goleta
seemed like a piece of cake. As we pulled up to the school we were
pleasantly surprised to see the bike rack filled with bicycles. Each
Wednesday at Brandon School is BOW-WOW day: "Bike on Wednesday, Walk
on Wednesday" What a cool idea!
When we arrived the 5th grade class was waiting and ready to work in
their garden and learn about composting. Together we pulled out
bermuda grass, amended the soil to plant peas and lettuce in their
garden, and played in compost. We hope the visit not only left a
positive mark on the school community, but also encouraged the 5th
graders to become ambassadors of the environment.
The day ended with a pot-luck dinner with our Ocean Futures family in
the Santa Barbara office (our home base for the next few days in Santa
Barbara). Such a wonderful and welcoming community, and the gathering
left everyone with full bellies and smiles on our faces.
