Barrio Logan College Institute

Families from our Barrio Logan site ventured out to Torrey Pines for an invigorating summer hike, embracing the great outdoors and discovering the beauty of nature together.

Twenty participants from our Chula Vista site joined Outdoor Outreach for a fun-filled fishing day at Bayside Park. 9th Grader, Alex, celebrated catching a baby leopard shark – the only catch of the day! We are lucky to collaborate with programs like Outdoor Outreach because it gives our students the opportunity to embrace new experiences, explore their world, and discover their capabilities, all while connecting with a supportive network of peers and mentors who believe in them and show them that they matter.

As the sun’s rays intensify, so does our reliance on air conditioning. Let’s explore ways to keep your home cool while trimming energy bills, plus other energy-saving tips. 1. Block the sun. During the heat of the day, cover windows to block the sun’s heat. If you can, open windows at night and in the early morning to let in cool air. 2. Charge while you sleep. Before going to bed, plug your devices in so they can recharge during super off-peak hours which are less expensive. 3. Pre-cool your home before 4 p.m. Take advantage of lower-priced energy by setting your A/C between 68⁰ and 74⁰ F before 4 p.m. During on-peak hours of 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., adjust your thermostat to 78⁰, health permitting.
