What participants say about our programs:

  • “PEAS provides awesome hands on opportunities for our children to go learn in the dirt and have fun with Earth Science. It is a very worthwhile program. The kids are really engaged, and they learn a lot of new vocabulary and concepts every week. For only meeting once every 2 weeks, they get a lot out of it.” - 1st grade teacher, Blackshear Elementary
  • “Our 5th grade students had a wonderful time participating in the PEAS program. Our instructor was so knowledgeable and patient with the students. It was wonderful to see them develop their science knowledge and skills and also their love and appreciation of the outdoors. We hope to see you again next year!” -  5th grade teacher, Boone Elementary
  • “My students really enjoyed the hands-on activities and adventures PEAS had to offer this school year. The instructors were very professional and they were always well prepared. Thank you very much for your contribution to our science classes!” - 3rd grade teacher, Blanton Elementary
  • "I hate that I had a sub when you were coming. Truthfully, I think I'm learning as much as the the students are during these lessons." - 2nd grade teacher, Cunningham Elementary
  • “After a PEAS day my daughter comes home and doesn’t stop talking about how she loves PEAS day.”- Mom of a 2nd grader, Blanton Elementary
  • “My daughter cried because I picked her up for a doctor’s appointment just before her PEAS lesson and she didn’t want to miss it.” - Mom of 4th grader, Pease Elementary
