School Programs
The Wayne SWCD
offers a variety of
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
available, at no charge for any Wayne county school
or club. The Education Specialist,
Kelly Riley, can
be scheduled to come to your school or event and present a
program.
There are also a number of
TEACHER TRUNKS and Educational Kits available for
loan. These trunks can help accentuate school lessons and
make learning a lot more exciting!
All area schools receive the Educational newsletter, called
The
CONQUEST, three times during the school year.
The newsletter includes program details, contest rules,
workshop information, conservation education, and lists
important dates for educators.
High school students with the help of a team advisor, can
participate in a fun environmental education contest called
the
ENVIROTHON. Wayne SWCD also helps host a
county
LAND JUDGING COMPETITION every September with the
help of local FFA teachers.
Each year the Wayne SWCD sponsors a
POSTER CONTEST for all grade level students in Wayne
county. The theme changes every year in accordance to the
national conservation theme. Teachers are also eligible to
receive free
TREE SEEDLINGS for their students, and need to call
in February to place their order. The Wayne SWCD also honors
an environmental
EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR
at our annual meeting for local teachers.
Schools wanting outdoor learning areas can learn more about
LAND
LABS by contacting the Education Specialist, or by
checking with other educators familiar with the idea. |
