Not another subject, rather skills and understandings that run through
every subject.

Making links between local and global issues

Cooperation, communication,
critical thinking
Enabling students to examine their values, attitudes, and perceptions

Open-mindedness to listen to different voices.

Creating an interest in
social matters and

Promoting social justice

GOING GLOBAL with the METRO

GOING GLOBAL - MOVING LOCAL - with the METRO

The METRO has dozens of bus and rail lines in and around our community.
But, if you know how to use the 264/267 and the Gold Line, you can get pretty much anywhere.

To confirm any of this information, or to get information not listed here, or to report a problem or seek help. CALL 323.go.metro, Metro’s telephone information hotline. Tell the customer representative your destination, starting point, and the day and time you want to travel.

Website: METRO.NET - Metro all has an app for Iphone/Ipad and Androids.

GOING GOLD - To get to the Gold Line.
ASL - use the 264 Eastbound. Allen, heading south. (To Sierra Madre Villa Station.) ((The 264 goes ‘near’ the Allen Station, but not directly to it. You could walk to Allen if you felt like walking)

The Gold Line starts in Sierra Madre, runs through Pasadena and East L.A. It also stops at Union Station, which will connect you to the RED. PURPLE. SILVER. LAX. AMTRAK

Helpful Hints: Give yourself extra time. Everything takes a little longer when traveling Metro.
Call 323-go metro an hour ahead to make sure bus is on time.
Avoid riding before 8:30am or after 3:30pm. Those are peak travel times.
Use google maps to get bus directions. They are very accurate.
