Short Description of Activity
An art contest for students K through 12 was open to all student artists who live in San Leandro City Limits. Students created art work of species listed on the US ESA list
Reflection/Evaluation
This was 100% digital and outreach to teachers and student artists was challenging. We didn’t reach as many students as we hoped because remote learning was still in place. Regardless, the participating teachers, families and student artists were enthusiastically engaged. We were featured in the local weekly newspaper 6 times! So, for a first year event it was a resounding success.
