School Program and Curriculum Our school program educates and informs students enrolled in Sacramento County and Yolo County school districts about mosquitoes and diseases they transmit. The school program curriculum addresses topics of mosquito biology, medical significance, control and prevention of vectors. The curriculum correlates to California state content standards. Students are engaged and inspired to learn more about mosquitoes and other vectors as well as additional services the District provides. Fight the Bite Calendar Contest The annual Fight the Bite Contest is designed to inspire creativity while teaching kids the fundamentals of mosquito control and prevention.To help us educate and inform the community about mosquitoes and West Nile virus, we host the “Design a Calendar Page Contest” for students in grades K-12 every spring.
