Are you ready to be inspired? If so, then you don’t want to miss this film.
Watch a documentary about real students and teachers who have truly had a positive impact on their environment. After the film, discuss 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.
Cocktails and light refreshments will be served.
