Children's Education Fund Drive
|
|
Each
spring ACES launches its Children's Education Fund Drive to support the
educational programs we provide for local school groups.
Visionary
Stuart Mace could never have imagined that the environmental education
classes he began at Hallam Lake in 1968 would become the nationally
recognized program it is today - making an impressive 30,000 student
contacts annually from 40 regional schools. Nearly every child in the
community benefits from ACES' Environmental Science program.

Stuart Mace leads a group of boys through the Hallam Lake Nature
Preserve in the early 1970's. Today's educators follow in Stuart's
footsteps teaching all of the valley's children about the importance of
the natural world.
This year, ACES' goal is to raise $120,000 to
bridge the gap between what schools are able to pay and the real cost
of the program which includes nine highly qualified environmental
educators plus teaching supplies and materials. Toward that end, a
letter is being sent to every ACES member requesting their support. Please watch for your Children's Education Fund drive letter in the mail!
For more information or to make a contribution, contact ACES
Development Director Debbie Welden at 970-925-5756 or
