BP GRANT TO EFM MEMBER
Anne Faught, graduate of EFM class of 33, received a $10,000
grant from BP (Beyond Petroleum/British Petroleum). The
grant, an extension of her EFM project, combines her
teaching art at San Domenico with the
comparison of development, energy use and the degradation
of earth and resources as depicted in California Landscape
Painting from 1850 to now. The students will be guided in the
research and present their findings to the entire middle
school on Earth Day 2007.
CONGRATULATIONS to ANNE!
