The 13th century poet Rumi wrote, "When you start to walk on the way, the way appears". Since our last report, we have planted ceilings in four more school districts in California, Utah and Pennsylvania. Bringing the total number of school districts to 14, and the ceilings serving about 8,000 students. Nature In The Classroom has also been in the news and on social media. In case you missed it, the comedian DudeDad.com did a video where he installs one of our ceilings. You can watch it on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/NatureInTheClassroom. Nature In The Classroom was also featured in Fortune Crowns Magazine and NiceNews.com. You can read both of the articles on our website's media section: https://www.natureintheclassroom.org/media--articles.html.
Your generous gift has helped "the way" to appear. Rotary International has invited me to speak and present our project. As we gain national attention it will help us help more students. The pandemic has left 25% of students with anxiety. Which is not showing any signs of going away. The ceilings have been key in helping students manage anxiety and stay calm in class. Teachers are very grateful and continue to express how the trees enhance learning in their classrooms.
Thamk you so much for helping us "start to walk on the way".
