WELCOME TO SCHOOL YEAR 2011-2012!

Here’s a shout out to Temple City High School, our first Fairchild Challenge school for this year! Bring on those projects.

South Pasadena High School and CIS Academy in Pasadena invited me to speak to teachers, an administrator and, yay!, students. I enjoyed meeting everyone, especially those folks who helped me find my way around the schools. I know these schools’ registration forms are in the mail.

Let the thinking creatively about our environment begin.
