Grades of Green Docent Program
 
We all have a great opportunity here; the opportunity to inspire our children to learn how important each person is in taking care of our environment. A recent study conducted by a consortium of 16 State Departments of Education found that of schools with hands-on environmental curriculum (SEER Roundtable, Environmental Concerns Fact Sheet):
 
  • 100% had improved behavior, attendance, and attitudes relative to traditional schools

 

  • 77% had improved standardized test scores

 

  •  
    93% of the educators noted positive impact on the learning environment
 

This year, with our awesome parent volunteers, we are happy to provide the 3 environmental education sessions to our K-5 students!!  To help with this exciting program, please contact ebethriley@verizon.net or signup outside your classroom on the docent signup sheet.
