Dear TMPF Supporter,

Thanks to you, 1,846 Washoe County students were able to get out into their local parks and do hands-on science with the Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation in 2016 alone. Your support means that teachers and kids are more connected to their parks and excited about science—Thank you!

Matt, one of our Student Stewards Educators, recently asked his group of third graders if any of them needed a Spanish translator. He received a surprising response: “Do you speak Arabic?” As it turned out, one of the students on his bird-counting field trip was from Syria! She had recently come to Washoe County with her family, and she and Matt found out… learning outside knows no bounds.

Thank you so much for your generosity, which transforms nearby parks into classrooms and inspires the next generation of park supporters. Your support makes stories like this possible.

Matt told me, “At one point, she pointed to a mallard duck nearby and looked at me questioningly. I said, ‘duck,’ and with a huge smile she repeated, ‘duck!’” Thanks to you, this student was able to experience hands-on learning at her local park and it made such a positive impression during a challenging time in her life.

Would you be willing to make a special year-end donation of $50, $100 or whatever you can afford to continue supporting the future of our community and the future of our parks?

For many of these students, this is their only field trip all year.

Thanks to your generosity, the Student Stewards Program is free-of-charge for low income schools. In 2016 alone, you brought 1,846 school kids into their neighborhood parks. Wow!

Thank you for your continued support and friendship.
