Most likely, your child came home from their week of Outdoor School with a huge smile plastered on their face and couldn't stop sharing all the cool things they learned and experienced. This is an opportunity to make sure that happens for every child across the state.
An environmental education group called Outdoor School For All is in the process of gathering signatures for a ballot measure in November that would fund a full week of Outdoor School for every 5th or 6th grade student in the state of Oregon. All the details can be found here:

At first I was thinking "great, I can gather lots of signatures at conferences!" However, the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like a conflict of interest to be gathering signatures of parents as their son/daughter's teacher. So I won't be doing that. However, if anyone is willing and has a little time to spare right after school tomorrow (Wednesday, 3:15), I'm happy to train anyone that would like to help gather signatures for this cause. Conferences would be an ideal place to gather lots of signatures of other parents that might be supportive of the cause.
Please let me know if you are interested! Thanks.
