Beautiful shot of the zipline
I’m sure you remember the zipline, but you may have forgotten a few things you learned at Covenant Heights let us remind you.
We learned a lot about water; that Mr. Dawson can spit it really good, that its fun to soak Mr. Rogers, and that it is not so fun to get sprayed by rabid teachers during the survival game on a cold morning.
More importantly we learned about how to investigate our waterways and prevent pollution. This is really important thing to know where you guys live. Little Willow Creek runs right by your school and is part of the South Platte watershed. Run-off from your neighborhoods end up in the South Platte which is damned to form the Chatfield Reservoir which is part of the Denver drinking water supply. We encourage you guys to take care of the water in your area; maybe you can pick up litter on the banks of the stream or keep an eye out for anything that might pollute the water.
We also learned about geology. You can go explore rocks some more in your backyard at Roxborough State Park. We talked about how those big fins of sedimentary rock slid off as Colorado was uplifted by tectonic forces. We also saw the power of erosion and glaciation during our hike along the cub lake trail.
The awesome power of erosion
Lastly, we hope you learned one very important lesson, Beware of attack ducks!
Scarier than an eight legged centipede
Leave a comment telling us what else you learned up here and how it has changed the way you think about the world around you.
