LA River Clean Up
On Friday, April 30, 2010 our class went to the LA River and helped clean it up! We went with Mr. Egeler and his students and filled two school buses. The drive was not very far, we ended up in Atwater Village under the bridge on Fletcher Drive. We went right down into the river and started cleaning up. We were given trash bags to fill and we filled plenty! Mostly what was down there were plastic bags from Ralph's and places like that. They were in lots of palm trees! There was even the whole body of a car down there, and a few mattresses. It was very hot, but we had fun, and we felt good helping clean up the environment. When we left it was a lot cleaner!

The Winning Bee essay for the Los Feliz Ledger- by Karla Rodriguez
We Need Bees
This Tuesday February 2nd, an urban beekeeper named Leonardo Chalupowicz came to Farm King. We learned that bees are important for all vegetation. They carry pollen from flower to flower and also to fruits and vegetables. One third of the food we eat is dependant on pollinators like bees. If we didn’t have bees, we wouldn’t have any vegetation.
Leonardo brought us honey from the bees before it’s processed. Also, he brought a smoker that’s used on bees to make them get drowsy because they think there’s a nearby fire and they eat a lot of honey. In addition, he brought honeycombs and we all got an opportunity to try it before the honey is removed from the comb. Leonardo also brought his equipment he uses when going near the bees.
