"...let clean waters flow..."
To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

Our CyberFair 2009 Project
Our whole school went to the San Diego Natural History Museum for the H20=LIFE exhibit in October, 2008. With this as our inspiration, we decided to make our CyberFair 2009 theme "water". Classes considered our essential questions in all classes, and we had an all-school Paideia discussion about water-related topics in November.Our essential questions are:
1. What are the sources of water in San Diego, and how do we distribute water today?
2. How are we planning to respond to future water needs in San Diego?
3. How can we reduce pollution in San Diego?
4. How can we conserve water?
