Los Angeles school officials broke ground Wednesday for a new child-care center at a Mission Hills adult school, the district's first new center in 15 years. The Maxwell H.

The center is expected to open in January.

Plunging into the San Pedro Channel Monday afternoon, they set out to explore the mysteries of the ocean's depths--18 sixth-grade scientists from Lawrence Middle School in Chatsworth. Deeper and deeper they went until at last they came to rest on the channel bottom, 1,620 feet below the surface. Or so it seemed. In fact, the students were aboard the Seamobile, an innovative mobile classroom from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County that simulates a deep-sea dive.

I am a teacher at Vinedale Elementary School in Sun Valley. I am writing to publicly thank the Maxwell H. Gluck Foundation and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County for making the Earth Mobile possible. My children had the opportunity recently to participate in the "hands on" archeology program and learn about Native American culture as well as experience the job of an archeologist. I am also writing to encourage other foundations and cultural centers to get involved in our children's education.
