Katya’s Corner
Dear parents, students, partners and friends,
Every year we like to put out a welcome letter to share our new goals with you. While we are always dedicated to serving schools and their communities, we strive to set high expectations for our company as well. This year we are continuing to reinvent ourselves by elevating our After-School Enrichment Program to new heights. That is why we have replaced the common sounding name, “Enrichment” with the stellar name of “NOVA”! Our fresh new program will ensure that everyone we hire and everything we do is innovative, extraordinary, and cutting-edge, because you deserve it.
Katya Bozzi,
Executive Director

The STAR ECO Station Rescues Over 100 TarantUlas!!!
This summer STAR ECO Station made a rescue of the eight-legged kind as 120 (Greenbottle Blue, Mexican Bloodleg and Chaco Golden Knee) Tarantulas packaged in pill bottles, straws and water bottles were brought into the STAR ECO Station, a Los Angeles area environmental science museum and exotic wildlife rescue facility, by U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife services who partners with the facility to rescue other exotic wildlife.
The Department of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services were contacted regarding a breeder who had hidden about 120 spiders. Upon receipt of this special delivery, STAR ECO Station was called to the
rescue to house the eight-legged critters.
Four adult tarantulas and 116 babies were contained in drinking straws and pharmacy pill containers. The spidy tots were packaged in straws of various sizes and the 4 adults were transported in half cut water bottles. The Arachna-residents will reside in a special tank especially sized for the new tenants of the rescue facility.
Officials at The Department of U.S. Fish and Wildlife are currently investigating the matter.
Baby Bengal Tigers visit the star eco station!
The STAR ECO Station received a visit of the WILD kind! Cat Specialist Jennifer Conrad, Founder and Director of the Paw Project, brought in two baby Bengal Tigers, sisters- Karma and Eden! The ECO campers and ECO staff were in amazement while the two friendly felines playfully tussled with each other! The campers were full of excitement and curiosity to learn about Karma and Eden!
Dr. Conrad gave the summer campers a brief lesson on the dangers and misconceptions of cat de-clawing both domestic and non-domestic cats. The campers listened in anticipation as they viewed pictures of wild and domesticated cats that had been de-clawed. After meeting Karma and Eden, the campers were fully aware of the adverse affects that
de-clawing has on cats.
