The Earthkeepers began as an after school enrichment program for educationally disadvantaged students in grades 1 - 6 at New Durham Elementary School in January 2015. It was a crowd funded project with support from patrons of Winnipesaukee Soap Company, and local and summer residents.
• The Earthkeepers have designed and installed a Butterfly Garden, a Buddy Bench, an Outoor Classroom, 3 Literacy Pods, and a sand play area called "Imagination Station" on their playground at New Durham School (NDS).
• The Earthkeepers have created a school culture of excellence, kindness, inclusion, and stewardship through their after school program projects. They are proud of their academic successes, and celebrate accomplishments outside traditional academics. Their positive energy is infectious! They are peer leaders.
• There are 165 additional elementary school children who want to be Earthkeepers, but the after school program is at capacity...
• The NDS classroom teachers, administrators and parents wholeheartedly acknowledge and support the positive impact The Earthkeepers have had on the school culture.
• There is a big, beautiful, light-filled classroom that is empty at NDS. It has a south facing patch of land outside the big windows, also empty...
• The "Earthkeepers Enrichment Center" has a nice ring to it.
• We have an opportunity to expand the Earthkeepers program to include all students at NDS by creating the Earthkeepers Enrichment Center. We only need to raise the funds for staffing for the 2016-2017 school year!
