What participants say about our programs:

  • "You made me feel excited about teaching today! I loved everything about today's lesson/activity. I wish THAT was what learning looked like every day. So rich and so good. A million thank yous to you!!!"  3rd grade teacher, River Oaks Elementary
  • "This is an excellent program. Now to figure out how to expand it to all grades!!!"  Principal, Boone Elementary
  • "I have nothing but positive things to say about PEAS and Ms. Frannie. I wish we could have PEAS here everyday! Nature and the importance of being a responsible citizen is not something you can teach out of a book. We need real life hands on experiences, and PEAS does just that. When I grow up...I want to be a PEAS teacher! :) Well done guys!" -  2nd Grade, Reilly Elementary
  • "The kids and I are enjoying the hands on outdoor lessons filled with Science TEKS and vocabulary reinforcement. Mrs Kate is a wonderful teacher and the kids love her. Just keep doing what you’re doing!!" -  Bilingual Kindergarten, Joslin Elementary
  • "My students and I love our garden lessons! Ms. Elizabeth is a great outdoor educator and is always organized and prepared.  " 4th grade teacher, Pease Elementary
  • “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
