RECOGNITION SCIENTISTOFYEAR CONTRIBUTED Bidwell School fourth-graders have invited the whole school to help them collect warm clothing items for the PATH Winter Shelter, which opened Nov. 1. A presen- tation was done by Pam Klein, a volunteer for PATH, about homelessness in the community. The children wanted to do something to help, so from Nov. 1-30 they will be collecting socks, gloves and making scarves, which will be donated to the shelter on Dec. 1. Containers are placed in the fourth-grade classrooms. The principal liked what the students were doing, so she included the whole school. For more informa- tion about PATH and the shelter, call President Allene Dering at 200-4847. BIDWELL SCHOOL CLOTHING SOUGHT After a six-week lesson plan on water safety, Ran- cho Tehama SERRF stu- dents traveled to the Fore- bay Aquatic Center in Oro- ville. The weather looked like rain, but after having to change dates due to a fire Oct. 3 everyone was excited that they were fi- nally going, rain or shine. Upon arriving, in the fields hundreds of Cana- dian geese were there to greet them. Brad Cooke, the event coordinator, welcomed everyone. The students learned some interna- tional signals for water safety and were given a lesson on how to paddle a kayak and soon they were on the water. As luck would have it, just as they got on the water, it started pouring rain. The students were screaming with joy, since they are always wishing to run around in the rain. The students found a bet- ter way, kayaking in the rain. Most of the students had never used a kayak, so it looked a lot like bumper boats at first. They caught on quickly and soon were off to the races. The Forebay is a Califor- nia State Park facility run by a non-profit group fo- cused on getting kids out- doors and on the water. There is much to learn, do and see. For more information, visit http://www.forebay- aquaticcenter.com.
