River's Edge Academy registered for National EE Week today! The form asks for an event day in 2015... In this year-long project it is hard to choose one day, so we selected June 4th, the Celebration of Learning and graduation day that caps off the whole year of learning and exploration.
EE Week Event
"River Journey: Exploring the Value of the
Mississippi River," a year long place-based, experiential, environmental
education project at River's Edge Academy in St. Paul, will culminate
June 4th, 2015 at the charter high school's Celebration of Learning and
senior graduation event on the Minnesota Showboat, at the edge of the
Mississippi River.

Students will present GIS Story
Maps they made throughout the year about their river experiences and
learning as part of the Greening STEM aspects of the project. One map
documents students' journey upstream and downstream to discover how
their drinking water and sewage are connected to the Mississippi River.
Other maps show how students incorporated river and water themes into
their coursework in English, Science, Math, and Humanities. The
Celebration of Learning will be the public premier of the online suite
of maps created by the students to share their learning and inform the
public about the vital role of the Mississippi River.
