LAGUNA NIGUEL : Environmental Kudos for Malcom Students
Students at John Malcom Elementary School have won two state awards for their “Earth Summit” on air pollution in January at the campus.
The students, from the fourth- and fifth-grade class of teacher Cheryl Barnes, will perform an encore of their production, “2001: An Air Pollution Odyssey,” at noon today during the Capistrano Unified School District’s Science Fest 1995.
The Science Fest will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Mission Viejo Mall, 27000 Crown Valley Parkway.
The Malcom Elementary School students were recently honored with a first-place award from a contest sponsored by the Walt Disney Co. and the state’s Environmental Education Interagency Network. The students also won the 1995 Clean Air Award for public education on air quality issues from South Coast Air Quality Management District.
The school opened in September and serves as an environmental science academy for the district.
