Get Outside

With the average American child spending more than seven hours in front of a screen every day, spending time outdoors can help reduce stress, obesity, and other health concerns, increase attention span and test performance, and enhance social interaction.

Be Prepared

As STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) careers become more and more prevalent, we need to prepare our students to succeed in these fields. In addition to increasing career readiness, STEM education improves critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
