These 2,500+ students came from every part of Sacramento County and West Sacramento and were a perfect cross-section of the region's diverse population. For many of them, Splash was their first introduction to a world beyond the pavement.The Splash Elementary Program integrates a 13-lesson, standards-based science curriculum with a field trip to the vernal pools at Mather Field. The curriculum prepares the students for their field trip by teaching them about vernal pools and the plants and animals that rely on clean water to survive. The field trip is hands-on, interactive, and provides lots of opportunities for the students to share their knowledge with each other, the Splash field guides, and the parent chaperons. This integration of classroom and experiential learning is a unique and exciting aspect of the program.In 2013-14, more than 1,000 middle and high school students participated in the Splash Secondary Program. This place-based science lab curriculum draws connections between aquatic life, water quality and the way we live in our watersheds. By studying the life in local streams, secondary students meet myriad small creatures who depend on clean water for life. Understanding their connection to this intricate web of life empowers students to join community efforts to protect water and habitat where they live.Throughout the past year Splash has maintained and operated the Splash Education Center at 4426 Excelsior Road in Mather, CA. In addition to serving as the home base for elementary program field trips during the winter and spring, the Center provides training and meeting facilities for Splash programs and other not-for-profit organizations that support the stewardship and environmental education goals of Splash and its funding agencies. 331559 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 12 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 5 3 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X X Emily Butler 9163642437 4426 Excelsior Road Mather CA 95655 Emily Butler Executive Direc 45.00 0.00 X X 69334 0 0 Eva Butler President 30.00 0.00 X X 90000 0 0 Mignon Marks Board Chair 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike Barlow Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Diane Tharp Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 159334 0 false false false 0 284000 24883 308883 Expense reimbursement 611600 22274 22274 Public program fees 611600 3566 3566 School program fees 611600 15762 15762 41602 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 350488 41602 3 0 0 0 0 159334 136834 15000 7500 0 77054 70054 5000 2000 0 15055 12805 1500 750 14331 12231 1400 700 0 0 1281 1281 0 0 0 10676 10676 133 133 16835 14435 1600 800 3706 3106 400 200 0 54130 48130 4000 2000 2363 1763 400 200 0 826 826 0 0 0 12122 10622 1000 500 Printing and Publications 9247 8197 700 350 Postage and Shipping 2047 1747 200 100 0 379140 331559 32481 15100 122244 45722 1 9484 83515 17671 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 205760 72877 104398 167 104398 167 X 101362 72710 101362 72710 205760 72877 -28652 X false false false X 161 323804 250380 372471 329118 1275934 15556 12765 46790 17715 19328 112154 0 0 0 15717 336569 297170 390186 348446 1388088 200 1405 780 2385 0 200 1405 780 2385 1385703 4 21 5 10 3 43 0 4 21 5 10 3 43 0 240 208 2039 2487 15721 336830 297383 390196 350488 1390618 0.99650 0.99730 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et The Executive Director, Emily Butler, is the daughter of board President Eva Butler.
