Some Sevilla West Elementary School students are helping in renovation plans at their local park. abc15
Two years ago, ABC15 first introduced you to STEM Educator Mia DeLaRosa and one of her students at Little Canyon Park off 32nd Ave. and Missouri.
Since that day, the park is now gated off and under construction. While their initial ideas aren't yet in the park, DeLaRosa says city officials were impressed with their innovative thinking and asked the students to create a little library. "I was a little nervous because I didn't know what they'd think of it at first. But once I got to it, they looked amazed and quite interested in it," said 14-year-old Delilah Gamez.
"This stuff does not happen by magic," DeLaRosa said"It is not easy. It is so much easier to copy a worksheet. But it pays off when you get to see kids so fired up and win competitions and host a summit of community leaders. It's priceless."
