This newsletter has opened many doors. The news, the ideas and the stories we have presented to our readers have created effective and fulfilling efforts in environmental education. Working together, involving our communities, reaching out to other schools and inviting others to become part of our efforts is truly the most effective way to teach success. No one school, no one class can function as an island. We all need each other.
Partnerships define ecosystems.
Animals breathe out what plants breathe in. Fungi and bacteria recycle nutrients, making them available for other organisms. And there are a million other examples from the interconnected web of life. It is tremendously valuable for students to feel a part of their environment and to have some degree of ownership during the process. Also, studies prove that children of involved parents achieve higher rates of success.
