LATE APRIL/EARLY MAY OASIS NEWSLETTER

For Students in the Summer:

SC3 Conference sponsored by the Green Schools Alliance that will happen this summer just outside of Washington, D.C. Katy is eager for all of us to let our students know about this fantastic one week opportunity. The cost is $1995/week but there is information on the website about how to request a reduced fee or financial aid if the cost of attending is prohibitive for a student. Feel free to contact Katy at per...@avonoldfarms.com with any questions.
