Are
you ready to be inspired? If so, then you don’t want to miss this film.
Bring your families and watch a documentary about real students and
teachers who have truly had a positive impact on their environment.
After the film, there will be a discussion about ways to inspire and
support students through service learning projects.
In 1992,
Laurette Rogers‘ 4th grade class asked her what they could do to save
endangered species. The response was to initiate a class project to
restore streams in Marin County in order to save the endangered
California Freshwater Shrimp. This remarkable effort evolved into an
award-winning regional program that has since restored over 20 miles of
habitat, galvanized the local community, and led to significant
educational innovations that connect children and their teachers with
their local watershed.
Popcorn and refreshments will be served.
