Cabrillo National Monument's Educators Open House

Cabrillo National Monument's Educator Open House is a chance for teachers to

learn about the many opportunities for teaching and learning that exist

outside of the classroom. Exhibitors from a variety of land management,

non-profit, and environmental education organizations will be on hand to

discuss these opportunities and to distribute educational materials.

"Teachers work so hard every day and it is wonderful to have this

opportunity to do something for them," said Rick Jenkins, education

coordinator for Cabrillo National Monument. "We want to honor teachers, but

we also want to inform them of the exciting and diverse educational

opportunities that exist beyond the school grounds."

Cabrillo National Monument will honor teachers during this event by opening

the tower to the Old Point Loma Lighthouse to allow a rare glimpse of the

city from the very top of San Diego's National Park. Furthermore, the

evening will see the opening of the new art exhibit: Art throughout the

Park: A Celebration of Cabrillo on Canvas. Live music will round out what

is sure to be an entertaining and educational evening.

If you are an educator and would like to attend this event, please RSVP to

Monument and the Cabrillo National Monument Foundation.
