Four San Marcos CISD elementary teachers just finished a comprehensive workshop and training called “Wonders of Water,” sponsored by the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority (GBRA) and Texas Lutheran University in Seguin. Jessica Chaffee, Linda Sangurima, Tammy Cox and Susan Seaton were four of the 25 teachers participating from all areas of Central Texas. The workshop explored all areas of water, its use and conservation methods in the Central Texas area.
“It was hands-down the most amazing training I think I've ever done,” said Cox. “San Marcos was well represented with teachers from De Zavala, Mendez, Travis and Crockett elementary schools attending.”
The group toured water wells in Nixon, a wastewater treatment plant in New Braunfels, drinking water treatment plants in San Marcos and Aquarena Springs, a hydroelectric plant in Canyon Lake and the Seguin Outdoor Learning Center. Two field trips were conducted to the Canyon Gorge in Canyon Lake and Geronimo Creek in Seguin.
Seaton said, “The workshop included classroom instruction and field trips to see first hand what water can do. This was a great resource, and we have new and innovative ideas to share in our classrooms next year to teach students about water use, conservation, and why it is so important.” Season added that the program focused on the Guadalupe and San Marcos rivers and their significance to Texas.
