Get Outdoors in May

Join NHEE, the NH Children in Nature Coalition, state agencies and informal educators in supporting outdoor science learning this May. Your classes, families, or other groups can participate in the “May We Do Science?” initiative.

Our goal is to get every student in New Hampshire schools and every family outside doing SCIENCE at least one day during the month of May! May is not just a month for the NECAP Science Assessment.

For ideas and resources, visit the official webpage for May We Do Science at http://mayscience.wetpaint.com/. You can share your experiences on the website by starting your own page or adding a discussion.

Helping Hands Needed

Please join us May 15 between 9 am to 4 pm as we work to spruce up the school yard and finish some projects. We'll need help with: building shelves, moving bark mulch and loam, digging post holes, installing fence, and other great projects. Feel free to join us for what ever amount of time you are able to spare. Bring a rake, gloves, wheel barrel if you have one and a water bottle.

If you're able to attend for any length of time, please contact robergec@sau25.net or beltramom@sau25.net.
