School Programs 2022

This year, since we are living in an ever shifting landscape, we will be offering a variety of options for you and your students

We are especially excited to offer FIELD TRIPS ON YOUR SCHOOL GROUNDS!!

No matter what your schoolyard looks like, it is a unique ecosystem where plants and animals interact with each other and their environment. In these field trips, students explore the school grounds, practicing the skills of observation, data collection and analysis to increase their understanding of the interdependence of living things and earth’s systems in the schoolyard web of lif​e.

We encourage an outdoor, nature-based approach that can take place on school grounds. Time spent learning from and with nature provides measurable academic, social, emotional, and physical benefits. One of the safest places for learning during this pandemic is the outdoors.

We look forward to working with you in any way we can and so appreciate all that you do as teachers to keep our children healthy, safe and educated!! You are our heroes.
