2018 Pendleton Information and Listening Session

The Outdoor School Measure 99 Funding Information and Listening Session in Pendleton (August 9, 2018) was a great success. This was an opportunity for Eastern Oregon District Superintendents, Principals, and Fifth- or Sixth-Grade Educators to ask questions, plan for next year, and learn how your district can get involved (or stay involved) in outdoor school. Videos of each segment of the session are provided below and on our YouTube Channel. We realize that the quality of these videos leaves much to be desired and we apologize if you find that they are not helpful. We'll work on getting a more professional set up at our next session!

We're hoping to host more sessions soon. Let us know if you're interested in a session in your area, and please stay tuned!
