I'm a senior majoring in Elementary Ed. and I just designed a mock-school plan for 7th grade that has "outdoor sporting" as a quarterly elective! Good to see it's actually happening out there!
Sounds like you got a good thing going there. Wish the schools around here were so inclined to try something "new". Kids these days have to much free time and technology at there disposal, way to easy for them to get into some serious trouble.
Congrats on the new deal by the way. I only hope my daughter has teachers throughout the years who are "into" the outdoors.
it sure is nice to see a school system support sporting classes. these days most school sysytems wouldnt do it purely for political reasons/afraid someone would be offended. congrats to you!!!
Actually you'd be surprised....
You just have to look..
In the Mpls METRO area:
NASP program pretty much state wide including innner city metro schools
My son's suburb school(liberal hippie school of course) Has a trap shooting team.
Minntonka..another surburb, hippie school has an ice fishing club.
And the list goes on ..
Please.....find these programs in your area and support them...
At the least, support them with donations....at best support them with your volunteer time!
Of course back when I took these classes, it was also acceptable to bring my shotgun to school......I just had to leave it in the principal's office until school was out.
Over here in canada, ont, gta... It's kinda silly, they are even removing starter pistol for running/racing. And no college has archery range, or club.... other then one but they lost the shooting range...
It would of been great for ice fishing, trap shooting club over here...
so when I come up this summer to the high country, what school do I stop off at to pick up some bargain wooly boogers?
congrats to you!!! those kids are going to think you are one doctorrealcooldude.
