Education is an important part of the Wabash River Blueway Project, and we recently visited our local elementary schools to distribute educational tote bags and resource kits to teachers for use in their classrooms.

These kits were created to support outdoor and environmental learning and include books, activities, projects, and hands-on materials inspired by the Expeditions in Education day held last November.

We appreciate the opportunity to provide these materials and look forward to seeing how teachers incorporate them into student learning experiences!
