Etowah Elementary students are studying seed viability and testing various conditions for starting seeds in their school's brand-new vegetable garden. We're ready for this salad NOW, but we can be patient. ⏳🥕🫑

Rosman 5th graders are excited to work w the @ChattanoogaZoo to design activities and outreach materials to save the hellbender! But first, they wanted to submit comments to help get the hellbender listed as endangered. Research is engaging when it matters! Stay tuned!

Another fun RootEd Launch is in the books! Our teachers worked with 75 fifth graders from Fletcher Elementary to clear a trail behind their school. Stay tuned for the next steps with this project, as well as all of the awesome work from the rest of the RootEd cohort!

Fletcher Elementary has a great spot for a learning trail and a classroom by this clear creek, and their 5th graders are the perfect team for making this a reality. Stay tuned! 👀

We’re thrilled to be back at @BCCInnovation! The veteran rockstar students did an awesome job showing the newbies what life at BCCI is all about.

It’s a beautiful morning for updating the basketball court at Marion Elementary! It’s amazing what a difference a coat of paint makes.

The Rosman Elementary 5th graders had a great time snorkeling with Kevin and Christie at Oxbow River Snorkeling!

We ❤️ opportunities to partner with @ConsrvgCarolina. We spent the morning getting rid of invasives along the French Broad; it’s way more fun than you might think, and these kids did a great job!

Yesterday's RootEd Community Expo was the perfect ending to a fantastic year of hard work by students and teachers all over Western NC. We are so grateful to work with these extremely innovative educators!

Another fantastic Make Your Mark camp with @BuncombeSchools! We had a great time at the Center for Craft, and can’t wait to work on our own weaving projects next week.
