We are delighted to reconnect with our friends at North American Association for Environmental Education - NAAEE through this performance to help spread awareness of their programming that engages students directly with the beauty and importance of the natural world!
~ Spring into learning outside! When students go outdoors, they become more confident, attentive, creative, and cooperative. That’s why the @theNAAEE Affiliate Network is sharing #OutsideFor5—a pledge campaign that encourages educators to incorporate an outdoor lesson or activity at least 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week, or any meaningful amount of time. Learn more, find resources, and take the pledge today at www.outsidefor5.com ~
