W hat do sixth graders and licorice ferns
have in common?
If they’re Sandy Elem entary Sixth
graders the answer is easy; the Outdoor
Education program
brings the two
together at Camp A rrah Wanna in
Wemme.
The program, under the auspices of the
Sandy School district, is now in its third
year of getting grade school kids and the
outdoors a little closer.
Interm ediate Principal Kevin Stewart,
liaison man and coordinator for Outdoor
Ed.
describes
the program
as a
“ classroom extension,” a place to learn
new things and use more traditional
classroom studies
Students are exposed to four main
topics; soil, w ater, and plant and anim al
life. They are treated both as individual
units and as parts of a greater “ outdoor
com m unity."
The youngsters are able to apply what
they've learned in mathematics and
English classes to take tem peratures, and
measurements, w rite reports and hold
discussions on these outdoor subjects.
In addition they are given instruction in
subjects like survival training, where they
learn how to build a fire, make a lean-to,
find edible plants and how to act If
stranded in the woods.
Although the program focus is on
education, recreation ia not forgotten and
the kids enjoy volleyball, archery, hand
crafts and nature hikes.

One place to
start is to lower
your thermostat
to 68 during the
58° at night. It could cut
heating use up to 12% !
Check your heating thermostat
against an indoor thermometer, to
make sure it’s accurate Higher set
tings waste 3% per degree. We've
got more tips in our free
Watt Watchers' Guide
at any PGE office.

a Licorice Fern. The plant gets its name, she says,
because “ It tastes like licorice."
