2005-2006

Keeping Cultural and Natural History Education Alive in the Yampa Valley
A workshop will be held at The Nature Conservancy's Carpenter Ranch near Hayden with the intent of facilitating teachers from Routt and Moffat Counties in bringing their classes to the ranch for experiential, place-based lessons in a local outdoor setting.

Link Coordinator Training
Funding will help offset the expense of training two Steamboat Springs High School staff members to coordinate the Link Program. The Link Program aids in the transition of incoming freshmen into the high school environment. Upper classmen are trained to be Link Leaders who work with individual Link Crews of up to ten freshmen in fun, powerful, positive activities. These activities serve many purposes, such as helping the freshmen make friends, learn important campus information, and consider many of the difficult choices, challenges, and responsibilities that are new to them. Additionally, these small Link Crew activities continue throughout the school year to further ensure the students' successful transition and to offer a support network as needed.
