Antioch Welcomes a New Year and New Faces

The start of a new semester brought new friends to Antioch High’s Earth Team largely due to the success of peer presentations and recruitment in December.
For several weeks Earth Team interns at Antioch High School planned to present to their peers about the work they’ve completed with Earth Team. Throughout the semester interns participated in several public speaking activities and exercises to prepare them for events such as this one.
This Fall, Earth Team interns at Antioch High School have been monitoring water quality at the Upper Sand Creek Basin. Water that enters the basin comes from two locations: Sand Creek and local storm drain systems.
Interns from Antioch and Pinole Valley High School teamed up for a Saturday field day at the Upper Sand Creek Basin. Their task for the day was to remove the invasive plant species called “Stinkwort.”
October 16th marked the return of Antioch Earth Team interns to the Upper Sand Creek Basin. Interns used GLOBE Hydrosphere and Atmosphere protocols to define their study site and collect their first samples of water quality data.
Returning to Earth Team for 2018-2019 is a journey that I am extremely excited to make again. Upon joining the internship I have created lifelong memories and taken advantages of opportunities that would have otherwise not been presented to me.
