Thirteen students from Palisades Charter High School participated in the 2022 San Bernardino Forestry Challenge at Hume Lake SoCal in Green Valley Lake.
“One of the highlights for the students this year was the opportunity to assist with preparation of a Forest Management Plan for Hume SoCal,” according to a press release. “Students defined management objectives, assessed the forest, prioritized threats and evaluated potential treatments to meet the management objectives. During the challenge, teams of students also completed a field test to assess their technical forestry knowledge and data collecting skills.”
Pali High teacher Steve Engelmann described the challenge as “a great experience for students to be exposed to the practical side of what we study in class.”
Palisadian native Dr. Lauren Plant will assume the role of head of school of Sinai Akiba Academy, an ECC to eighth grade Jewish day school in West Los Angeles, beginning July 1.
“Dr. Plant describes herself as ‘a relational leader who deeply values open communication, collaboration and community partnership,’” according to information shared by the school. “She sees the role of head of school as ‘a tireless steward of the institutional mission and a leader working to align all community stakeholders toward reaching a shared vision.’ As SAA enters its 55th year, her leadership promises to lead the school into a dynamic and reinvigorated next chapter.”
