SMC Geography Club - SMCGC

Remember our Santa Barbara trip?

Some of our people went to Chicago last weekend and would like to share some cool info with you all:

"We learnt about cultures from all over the world (From Maori customs, Ancient Egypt, Pacific Island beliefs, and American Empires), World War 2 history, sustainability and energy sources, soil and its properties, about animals during the Ice Age (particularly mastodons and mammoths), and the COOLEST of it all: we learnt about tornadoes and climate by manipulating an indoor tornado!"

This shows just how broad Geography is and how fun it is to learn different kinds of stuff!
Share your Geography stories as you experience new things!

Skip the car wash. I know your car must be cared for, but they are abominations when you're in a drought. This month, don't wash your car. Instead of writing "Wash Me!" on the dirty back window, you can write "Drought!" No one will judge you for conserving water, and it may help our thing.
