Dr. Peggy Schultz from the University of Kansas' Environmental Studies Program and Kansas Biological Survey brought outreach plans, experience, and enthusiasm to Free State High School during 2016 and 2017.  Peggy's KU students developed lessons which they shared with Free State Environmental Science students in the fall.  Free State students subsequently modified those lessons for fifth graders at Deerfield Elementary.  The high school students traveled to the elementary school and presented the lessons with support from KU students and faculty.  In the spring Deerfield students visited Free State Prairie for outdoor activities led by Free State students.  Dr. Helen Alexander assisted with lessons in 2017.  Click the link below for the lesson overview.
