FIELD TRIP FUND
The BCS Foundation is proud to underwrite field trips for BCS learners at every grade level, including the overnight trips to Gold Country (4th grade) and Camp Campbell/Outdoor School (5th grade) through the FIELD TRIP FUND.
Field trips, and the vital educational opportunities that they provide are an essential component of the whole-child experience at Bullis Charter School. Contributions to the Field Trip Fund ensure that all BCS learners enjoy these important educational experiences.
LEARNING SUSTAINABILITY
FROM THE OHLONE PEOPLE
BCS 3rd graders have been researching the Ohlone people and their approach to living harmoniously with nature.
In December, they experienced a memorable field trip to the Coyote Hills Regional Park for their first field trip of the school year! Naturalists demonstrated the Ohlone's use of natural resources in their daily life.
Our learners explored replica boats made of tule (a marsh plant) and played traditional games; they learned about how the Ohlone cultivated wildlife to promote regrowth and a sustainable ecosystem.
Learners have brought these ideas back to the classroom and are now coming up with plans on how they might promote sustainability in our Los Altos community to honor the Ohlone way of life.
