The SNC received a grant to offer free educational programming to Title I Schools in South Florida. Here are some images from the virtual programming featuring Marsala the chicken and Big Red the Red Rat Snake. We still have plenty of funding, so if you know a Title I School that could use a virtual environmental education program, reach out at 954-752-9453!
Hey everyone,
The Sawgrass Nature Center is halfway to our minimum goal to provide free educational and professional development resources to Title I schools. These resources will include an environmental education program, a volunteer program, and professional skill building program. The professional skill building program will teach students how to write and build their resume, how to navigate an interview, and how to use social media is changing the job market. The volunteer program will provide them with skill building, hands-on experience at the Sawgrass Nature Center as well as a resume building and networking opportunity. The environmental education program will give them the chance to interact with wildlife and wildlife rehabbers in an educational environment.
To qualify as a Title I school, 40% of the student body must be living below the poverty level. This funding will allow us to bring resources to typically underserved communities to help bridge the gap in job opportunities and educational quality between socio-economically distinguished groups.

First Day!
Today was my first day of Sophmore year of high school! It went pretty well, considering I got my schedule yesterday and I still don't have a locker. My first teacher has the distinct feeling of 'cool dad' with a slight lisp. The air conditioning was off for the whole school, so he told us if he has an asthma attack to call the office. I went to the wrong class twice before I got to my marketing class. In good news, my friend that was home schooled last year back! We sat together at lunch to catch up and I was late for my next class because of it. Still worth it!
