832 Students Learn About The Environment At Millbrook Marsh Nature Center
|
|
ClearWater Conservancy awarded over $5,800 in funding to local schools for Fall 2010 field trips to Millbrook Marsh Nature Center.
Award recipients include: 3rd and 4th graders from all of the State College Area elementary schools, kindergarteners from all of the Bellefonte Area elementary schools, kindergarten through 5th graders at St. John the Evangelist school in Bellefonte, 4th graders at Nittany Christian School, 1st graders at Wingate Elementary School in the Bald Eagle School District, 4th graders at Centre Hall Elementary School in the Penns Valley School District, and 2nd graders at Philipsburg Elementary School in the Philipsburg-Osceola School District.
Altogether, 832 children will have the opportunity to learn about their local environment through ClearWater's long-standing "Students~Communities~Streams~Connections" program, which pays the $6 per student fee at the Nature Center and the costs of transporting the children to and from the field trip.
Millbrook Marsh Nature Center offers a variety of programs, events, and activities to the community, in addition to leading school groups through educational field trips.
Thanks to Cliff and Doris Wurster, State of the Art, and the Centre County Community Foundation for contributing to the Connections program in this past funding cycle.
Also a great big thanks to everyone who participated in our first ever Strides for Nature 6K Run/Walk to benefit ClearWater’s Connection program. That new event raised $1,500 towards this project. Watch for details when we do it again next year (probably in May), and help us spread the word!
If you or your business would like to contribute towards this exceptional program, please send your contributions to ClearWater Conservancy, 2555 North Atherton Street, State College, Pa 16803. Please note Connections in the memo line. For a contribution of $275, you can "adopt" a classroom.
Or choose a multiple of $275, and increase the number of students that you can reach in this meaningful way. When you see their faces on these field trips, you know that this is an experience they will remember for a lifetime. Donations of any size are welcome.
