Recipients
In 2015, the Meisenbach Scholarship program was expanded by including a high school internship program, with the first recipient being Middletown High School junior Jack Shrive. At Cobb Elementary School, Jack has designed two displays on the Putah Creek and Cache Creek Watersheds to be installed at the Nature Trail behind the campus, and is also developing a “Watershed Walk” for the nature trail. At Minnie Cannon Elementary Jack is researching, designing and developing a school garden at the new campus to enhance science education through a hands on “laboratory” experience while improving the ecological literacy of students. 2014
