We are thrilled to announce that our recent DonorsChoose Project: Rain or Shine Outdoor Learning: The Forest School Way was fully funded in just 48 hours! This project was written to raise money to buy a Canvas Dome Tent for our Forest Days Program.
DonorsChoose is a non-profit organization that makes it easy for anyone to help a classroom and school gain monetary support for special projects and needs. Public school teachers from every corner of America create classroom project requests, and receive donations from people around the world and DonorsChoose matches many donations. You can read our project description to learn more about why this Canvas Dome tent means so much to our Forest School program! It’s our hope that your children will be enjoying the solace of this tent during rainy days in nature, for years to come! Many thanks to our generous donors: Des Dahlgren (Wildflower parent), Melissa Macdonald (Wildflower teacher and parent), Alex Palmerlee of Far View Ranch, Blake Ellis of Chico State Ecotherapy program, Teresa Evans (community member), Mike Slattery (City of Chico and Community Member), Alana Bempesto (community member), Missy Thomas (California stakeholder), an anonymous donor from California, and DonorsChoose for bringing this dream to fruition for our school!
