The PA Association of Environmental Educators is collecting lighthearted stories that celebrate the joy and wonder of teaching about the environment. Stories are due March 21-- the first day of Spring!

Whether you're a teacher, educator, or nature enthusiast, this is your chance to reminisce and reward yourself.

Let’s spread positivity and inspire others with your memorable teaching moments.

Have you had a teaching moment in environmental education that made you laugh, smile, or feel a spark of joy?

Maybe a student had a hilariously unique take on nature, a wildlife encounter turned into an unforgettable moment, or you saw the magic of discovery light up someone’s face.

Whatever it was, PAEE wants to hear it!

In addition to spreading a little joy, entries will be included in a drawing to win one of three gift certifications each valued over $200 to the Outdoor Learning Store!

With so much happening in the world, we could all use a little more joy.
