Empower 17,000 kids to Save the Ocean

It is so exciting to announce that we are just $388.00 from reaching our goal for this project! With less than two short months left in the year, we are confident about reaching our goal before 2021!

I am also excited to share with you about a virtual workshop I recently attended to learn about how to integrate tribal history and acknowledgement into Blue Schools cirrulicula at each grade level. 

The founders of Ocean Blue are tribal members of the Choctaw Nation and understand first-hand the importance of State of Oregon Senate Bill 13: Tribal History/Shared History The Essential Understandings of Native Americans in Oregon and The 6 P’s (Critical Orientations for Indigenous Studies Curriculum).

This is why Blue Schools integrates place-based curricula and strives to collaborate with tribal nations from any watershed where Blue Schools is taught to ensure acknowledgment of tribal lands, people, and nations for every classroom. 

Not every student has access to the materials needed to replace single use plastic products. By providing lessons and materials for Title 1 schools, or those reporting a 50% of greater economically disadvantaged student population, Ocean Blue gives historically marginalized students the tools and materials required to make individual choices and provides a locus of control for these students to make an impact in their environment.  

In addition to the curriculum you have helped develop through your support, Blue Schools is expanding to provide the reusable materials students need in order for them to feel they can make a real difference in their environments by replacing single use plastics. 

Thank you for your support and please consider a small donation of $5 or $10 to help us reach our goal! Please share the project to help too!

Stay healthy and well this coming holiday season!
