On Friday,
April 30th, 2010 more than 300 K-6th graders helped celebrate a year of
monitoring for the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (BEMP) at the BEMP
annual student Congress on Bosque School campus. Bosque School 6th
graders served as student mentors with visiting schools like the 2nd
graders from Rio Grande Elementary in Belen (pictured below) who took the
rail runner up to participate in the day of adventure. BEMP, a Bosque
School partner, is supported by federal, local, state and private
grants . For more information visit:

learned about Otter habitat and survival here in New Mexico. The
culmination concert was performed by well known environmental lyrist Dave

funded by a grant from the Cebrin Goodman Foundation for Environmental
Studies. May 3, 2010
