20. After I told her about all the field trips, class visits, family trips we have taken over the past 2 years, I was truly amazed again myself about the magnitude and significance of the program and grateful for your ability in bringing it to us so effectively. Not only did you bring us content that was worthwhile, you personally reminded me each time how effective communication with second language learners should look. The fact that your program involved student interns, Native Americans, specialist volunteers with knowledge about the flora and fauna, and assistant teachers (like Reuben) increased the scope and impact by showing kids that there is a wide community of people interested in taking care of our environment, not just a sole teacher trying to impart a message. No other program has had an equivalent impact on my students during the 11 years I have been a teacher. -- Patricia Guardado, Third – grade Teacher at Markham Elementary, in response to news of receiving the Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award
