The city of Boulder's Watershed Outreach Program and <br />the Keep it Clean Partnership (Boulder, Boulder County, Erie, Longmont, Louisville, Superior) Education <br />Program have relied on resources provided by Project WET staff aIld in the ,Project \\lET activity book <br />for the past four years specifically for OUf school based education programs and annual teacher \\lorkshop. <br />We plan to continue to use the Project WET resources again this year and in years to come. <br /> <br />Each year City of Boulder and Keep it Clean Partnership education staff provide an average of 150 K-12 <br />progranlS to 5,000 Boulder Valley School District and Saint Vrain Valley School District students. Our <br />professional team of four educators (three are Project WE1' facilitators) utilizes Project \VET activities as <br />the basis for many of these school based education progranlS. Through these prograIlls we often refer <br />teachers to ProjectWE"r resources includil1g the printed materials and contact information for the state <br />coordinator so tlley can find out about expanded Project WET educational programs. After participating <br />in the "Sum of the Parts" activity in her fourth grade classroom, one Boulder teacher shared, "~rhis <br />program was fantastic. Every student was engaged and they \vere able to make several COilllections to our <br />current \NTater unit." <br /> <br />The successful annual "(iet to Know Your H20" teacher workshop is coordinated in partnership with <br />Project WET. Each year an average of 20 teachers attend this \vorkshop, Inany of whom are drawn by the <br />Project \VET training offer. These teachers reach an average of 1,000 students who in turn share <br />infonnation with their falnilies. Teachers report that they are pleased Witll the high quality, informative <br />and standards-based activities that Project WET provides. One 2007 participallt shares "1 learned so much <br />and came a v,ray \vith excellent materials." <br /> <br />Finally, the State Project WET coordinator and Project vv"tTmaterials are wonderful resources not only <br />for educators, but also for nlunicipal employees respoIlsible for implelnenting stormwater education <br />programs in their comtnunities. <br /> <br />Thank you for your careful consideration of the Colorado Watershed Netvvork's proposal for Project <br />WET funding from the Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br /> <br /> <br />
