As Spring rolls in and nature begins to blossom, so are our classroom tree ceilings. CBS News and Upworthy Magzaine have featured Nature In The Classroom. The articles, (links below), present well rounded stories about our project. NiceNews.com eloquently summarized our endeavor that you helped put on this path: “As a former school psychologist, Ernesto Rodriguez understands how important mental and emotional well-being are for a child’s education - and as a passionate landscape photographer, he understands even better the role greenery can play in improving that well-being. With his nonprofit, Nature In The Classroom, Rodriguez combines his areas of expertise, creating stunning ceiling murals of tree canopies for school classrooms that don’t have any windows. And students are giving the installations a thumbs-up: “I would say that it’s pretty great and beautiful,” one fifth grader told CBS News of being able to look up at the leaves as he’s learning."
But this is only half of the exposure that we are getting. The Drew Barrymore Show will feature us on June 10. The Conspiracy of Goodness podcast will feature an artricle and a podcast episode that will air that second week of June. Check out the articles in the links below. None of this would have been possible without your generous early support to put us on this path! For that I am forever grateful and cannot say thank you enough!!
