{East Falmouth Elementary Request} East Falmouth is in need of outdoor teaching items for the school year including gardening tools and supplies to support outdoor learning curriculum. Additionally we are looking looking a business sponsor for the student outdoor bags for supplies as well as Adirondack chairs for the teachers for outside learning. Let us know if you can help. We have included their official Amazon Wish list link below.
Contact: Beth Dussan https://a.co/5MGSftZ As we prepare for a new school year, outdoor learning is stronger than ever! We have the 2nd round of tents which will arrive in the coming weeks as well as are working hard on our curriculum project in partnership with the schools and 300 committee. As we prepare to keep our students and staff safe and promote outdoor education we once again are coming to our community for help with some supplies we need to get going for the year. If you are inclined, we welcome any donations so we can purchase the requested supplies via Rotary Club of Falmouth Cape Cod, a 501c3 volunteer organization. {East Falmouth Elementary Request} We are in need of approx. 80 tree stump seats for outdoor learning.

Earlier this week Grace Simpkins from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Outreach and Education on Protected Species (NOEPS) program visited Mrs. Noonan's and Mrs. Serdy's first grade classes and our students learned all about animal habitats and animal adaptations! It was so much fun and an awesome experience!
We are still fundraising for the 2nd round of tents, curriculum enrichment and more. Please consider a tax deductible donation to this project via Rotary Club of Falmouth Cape Cod, a 501c3. Thank you so much to the install team at East Falmouth Elementary School! Special thanks to Christian Valle & William Kerfoot, our supervisors as well as the dynamite team from facilities and other parent, staff and committee volunteers! 6 down 1 tent to go for the 1st round! Next week is Mullen Hall which will complete the 1st round of outdoor classroom installs.
We are actively fundraising for the next round (so we can install over the summer) and are almost halfway there, plus raising funds for support of the curriculum for these spaces and walking field trip opportunities! If you can donate, we would very much appreciate your contribution via Rotary Club of Falmouth Cape Cod, a 501c3 (tax deductible) organization!
