As we wrap up our last EE Camp of the summer, we are thankful for ALL of the smiles, joy, excitement, and connections with nature that our students shared these past 4 weeks. It's impossible to pick a favorite when there was so much fun day after day!

E-Achieve 1st graders got to meet Shelly, Matrix and other animal ambassadors this morning during an adaptations program with EE teacher Betty. Students are just as excited to see our animals virtually as they are in person!

Trunk or Treat - Environmental Ed definitely understood the assignment! Thanks for having us, Heyer Elementary!

Leave a pumpkin out long enough and animals may carve it for you. Animal Ambassadors Yertle, Lilo and Mr. Chewinski didn't carve one this time, but sure are enjoying their festive pumpkin treat today. Happy Halloween from EE!
