We will continue our <br />tuition -free, after-school lagoon science education program for 5th graders that includes four Title 1 schools; and <br />expand Audubon Adventure Camp for at -risk 6th -12th graders drawn from across the county to provide programs <br />in school breaks and weekends. In addition, we will partner with Oslo Middle School students and teachers on <br />projects/experiments conducted on campus or in other Indian River County locations to expand their understanding <br />of lagoon science and the unique ecosystems surrounding us. This will enable PIAS to track the progress of <br />graduated 5th graders from the Audubon Advocates program. <br />We are engaging a large, more diverse audience, more teachers and Audubon members and we will reach beyond <br />to new families and adults across Indian River County. <br />Taxonomy #1304.03 Afterschool Enrichment & CO2 Environmental Education. <br />
