Education Outside 🎓🌱

Yesterday 27 @genentech #volunteers donated a total of 81 hrs at FDR Elementary to transform the outdoor classroom. We can't thank you enough for your time, enthusiasm, & smiles. Students are already exploring their new mural, recycled tables, & garden beds!🔨#GenentechGivesBack

On June 1st we recognized the dedication, compassion, & vision Education Outside's graduating 2018 @AmeriCorps instructors poured into their #outdoorclassrooms & school communities this year. A heartfelt appreciation for & #congratulations to everyone! 🎓#opentheclassroomdoor

Last month we partnered with 18 fantastic @BlueShieldCA volunteers from the Actuary Department. We thank you for your afternoon of hard work and commitment to the @PaulRevereSF community's environmental education! #ShieldCACares 🔨♻️

Instructor Maya and her Marshall Elementary #GreenTeam students are committed to their #outdoorclassroom through the very last day of school! They designed and painted a beautiful cacti mural to commemorate the year's accomplishments and admire in the fall. 🌵🖌️#succulentart

A fellow environmental education nonprofit, @ChildrenNature, is hosting a free webinar tomorrow discussing the incredible sensory exploration and experiential discovery of educating in the outdoors. 🏃‍♀️Register below! anymeeting.com/AccountManager…

thecommunityguide.org/findings/nutri… … @CPSTF recently concluded that the very "hands-on experience planting, growing, & harvesting fruits and vegetables" we provide daily in our outdoor classrooms increases "children’s preferences for & willingness to try new fruits and vegetables." 🌱🍽️

We had a fantastic time last week investing in our Sutro Elementary School outdoor classroom with @Airbnb. 18 volunteers built garden beds & teaching tables, personalized our produce signs, designed a bamboo trellis, & impacted 260 elementary school students! #weekforgood

Preparations for the upcoming school year are in full swing across our school communities. Our #outdoorinstructors are busy making Erik-sized portable garden beds for San Francisco Community School. Not to worry, only kale, beets, and artichokes will sleep in this bed! 🥦💤
