Arbor Park Intermediate School: Outdoor Education
Since 2006, Blair Public Schools has partnered with DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge to provide students with an engaging environmental education program. In an effort to help solve the growing disconnect between younger generations and the outdoors, Ranger Peter from DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge works with teachers and administrators to plan fun, hands-on learning opportunities within a natural environment. The program helps students experience real-world applications that compliment the classroom curriculum, and over time, has led to increased test scores.
