PRIDE guest teacher available to Adair Co. schools next fall See What's Cooking Today in Adair County Sunday dinner at Bob's Country Kitchen is special today Pot Roast with all the trimmings. By Cindy Lackey Local schools have the chance to host an environmental education specialist each month during the next school year. If Adair County joins the PRIDE Environmental Education Outreach Program, a PRIDE liaison will visit the county's elementary schools to lead fun, educational lessons about the environment. The PRIDE liaison brings hands-on activities that prepare students for state science tests and life-long environmental stewardship. Topics include energy, botany, water quality and solid waste. The program serves 3rd through 5th grade classes, with an emphasis on 4th graders who are tested on science in the state's annual CATS testing. This convenient program is available to the 38 counties served by PRIDE, but local leaders must pay a fee to enroll their schools. During the past school year, seven counties participated, and the PRIDE representative spent 226 instructional hours with 4,204 students. "We soon will begin inviting county judges to sign up for the upcoming school year," said Tammie Wilson, PRIDE Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "The county pays one fee that covers all schools, so our primary contact is the county judge. Some judges decide to invest their litter abatement funds from the state in the PRIDE outreach program, and some partner with conservation districts or city governments to share the fee." "If educators want to learn more about the program, they can call our office in Somerset at 888-577-4339 or e-mail us at PRIDE@centertech.com," Wilson added. Eastern Kentucky PRIDE is a nonprofit organization that promotes "Personal Responsibility In a Desirable Environment" in southern and eastern Kentucky. PRIDE works with communities to improve water quality, clean up solid waste problems and increase environmental awareness. The Environmental Outreach Program reflects PRIDE's commitment to showing students why and how they should take personal responsibility for the local environment. The goal is to increase children's environmental knowledge by providing lessons tied to Kentucky Core Content and involving students in cleanup activities.
