Letter: Thanking community for WOWEE help

To the community,

For the past six weeks the STEEC (South Tahoe Environmental Education Coalition) has been busy presenting lessons for our Wonders of Water expanded edition or WOWEE.

Students in grades kindergarten through sixth grades got to experience some outdoor education stations due to the many wonderful agency and community partners that make up our STEEC group.

Once again I am reminded of what an amazing place we live in — not only for the breathtaking beauty of our surroundings, but also for our generous community.  Many thanks go to the Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation and the Optimist group for helping to fund this amazing program for our students. We served over 2,000 students. Thank you to the many wonderful presenters and volunteers who helped make this possible.
