A GRANDE — Art Center
East will present the Dis-
cover After School Education-
al Exhibit with a free reception
Friday, April 1, 6-8 p.m. at the
art center, 1006 Penn Ave. A
wild-harvested Douglas-fir tea
will be available for visitors
to sample.
Discover After School is a
free ACE afterschool program
for middle schoolers that was
inspired by the Qapqápnim
Wéele/Grande Ronde Com-
munity Science Project. The
exhibit runs April 1-30.
The Discover After School
Educational Exhibit features
youth art projects and pho-
tographs from DAS classes,
youth art projects and edu-
cational posters from Grande
Ronde Model Watershed,
interactive items from U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, and
infographic posters from the
Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation.
According to a press re-
lease, Discover After School
was developed for local
middle schoolers to engage
them in watershed monitoring
outdoors by using art, story-
telling, journaling and nature
investigations in an informal
and inclusive after-school
space. Participants investigate
neighborhood green spaces
utilizing a variety of geographi-
cal skills and then choose art
projects, journaling prompts,
and photography opportunities
to explore geography topics in
their own ways.
The Discover After School
Program is funded by a Gray
Family Foundation geography
grant and is a collaboration
with ACE and La Grande Parks
and Recreation. Naknuwithlama
Tiichamna (Caretakers of the
Land) is also a supporter of the
DAS Program.

After School session be-
gins April 21. Registration is
