MdTL Fund-A-Need: Naturalist-in-Residence Program

Item Number
316

Live Event Item

This is a Live Event Only item.

Item Description

This year our wonderful Fund-A-Need will be in support of our Naturalist-Garden-Outdoor Education Program. Back at the MdTL Annual Auction in 2011 parents came together to create our Artist-In-Residence program, and since then our Art Program has become a permanent and vital component of our curriculum. Last year when our beloved Garden teacher, Suzanne moved out of the area, it was a tremendous loss, and we have been searching for someone to take her place ever since. We are committed to finding a new teacher who had the passion, vision and connection to the natural worked that Suzanne had. What has emerged from this search has lead us to an understanding that the answer to finding someone of Suzanne’s caliber is a plan that grows the Garden Program into a Naturalist in Residence, much like the way we conceived of the Artist in Residence so many years ago.

Fund an Extraordinary Naturalist Program! The funds raised at the Spring Fling this year will support the salary for a new 20-30 hour per week specialist, who, like Suzanne can provide rich garden, outdoor, naturalist exploration and enrichment to our children, but not just for Elementary, this new Naturalist in Residence will also work with our Primary children! Using Suzanne’s program as a starting vision, the MdTL Naturalist Program will grow into the same cherished experience Suzanne brought for our Elementary children, and with your help we can attract a candidate who will enthusiastically continue her outdoor magic.
