PHOTO GALLERY: Earth Partners For Schools


Thanks to work done by students, staff and business and community volunteers, teachers in this year’s Earth Partnership workshop had the Hudson Middle School’s plant-filled prairie at their disposal. One of the goals of the workshop is to provide teachers with information and ideas they can use to create similar outdoor learning environments for the schools where they teach. Pictured from left are Cindy Landers, Patrice Denning, Eric Wickstrom, Tony Meincke and Betsy May. Submitted photo
