L.A. PARENT MAGAZINE NAMES STAR ECO STATION BEST OF 2007

“STAR ECO Station among the cream-of-the-L.A. crop!”

STAR ECO Station was voted “Best of 2007”, for its annual Children’s Earth Day Festival! ECO Station was praised for its dedication to abused and abandoned wildlife and its dedication to the philosophy of “Preservation through Education.”

This isn’t STAR ECO Station’s first time being honored by the magazine, back in 2003 STAR ECO Station received the honor of “Best Teaching Zoo/Animal Rescue.” Each year, L.A. Parent Magazine distributes a “Readers’ Choice Awards Issue” which allows readers to vote and collectively acknowledge the “Best in L.A!” Congratulations STAR ECO Station!

Star ECO Station transforms into a fantastical trick or treat village for a halloween thrill that is too different to miss. Live snakes, spiders, alligators and goblins, plus other creatures of the night. Two paths to choose, a real fright for the strong of heart or a safe and magical experience for the little ones.

STAR Education has teamed up with PAH Fest

Travelling across the United States and overseas, PAH-FEST is a groundbreaking digital media festival that celebrates the stories and voices of everyday people. Through a variety of fun and exciting contests, local participants are invited to create their own short digital films with pro-sumer cameras and video-enabled mobile phones provided by the Festival. Experienced industry “coaches” help festival participants realize their vision within the allotted timeframe. Finished pieces are posted on the PAH-FEST online theater, where celebrity judges and the public choose the winning entries. The winners are screened for the local population in a closing ceremony, and cash prizes awarded.

PAH-FEST’s goal is to use the democratizing power of the digital media revolution and the internet to connect people from all walks of life. Visual storytelling is the new universal language, particularly amongst young people. PAH-FEST offers participants the opportunity to discover the “artist within us all,” and to provide entertaining, quality content to the general public.

STAR Education got involved last month and many of our students submitted entries for the contest.  In addition, 10% of the proceeds from the festival will be donated to STAR. Both STAR and the PAH Fest were started based on a belief in creating opportunities for communities.
