DID YOU KNOW... UAS BROUGHT OUTDOOR LEARNING TO OVER 880 STUDENTS IN NOVEMBER?
We completed field experiences with eight partner schools for Nature Near Schools, a program funded by the D.C Dept. of Energy and Environment that brings watershed education to 4th graders at Title I schools across the District. PK-5th grade students at C.W. Harris Elementary School in Ward 7 investigated seed dispersal and the life cycle of a plant during our monthly visit for our project, "Building a Culture of Outdoor Learning in D.C. Public Schools." And we led five full day programs on days when DCPS was closed.
DONORS: We need your help to support equitable access to our programs. Your donations support scholarships, free access to our programs when scholarships are not enough, instructional materials, and snacks.
Please consider a monthly or one-time donation of any amount: Donate
