My Project

Our school is located in a very urban environment. We are working to help our students grow their connection to nature by doing more of our learning outside. Your donation will allow our school to have a roaming toolkit of supplies any teacher can use to help bring their lessons outside!

Helping our students experience Nature Based Learning will help them stay regulated, build a connection to Earth and allow students to thrive in a new environment.

We will pull this wagon, filled with lots of learning tools, along on our journeys, so no matter where a class finds themselves, they have the tools to explore, learn and grow by investigating using binoculars or magnifying glasses and report their findings through art or writing! We are so grateful for your supporting in helping students explore the world around them!
