Schoolyard Listerserv folks:
Check it out - a memo from the National Gardening Association.  I see some

==========================
STUDENT AMBASSADORS NEEDED
Students, teachers, and parents: Are you looking for a way
to enhance the science, social studies or gardening project
curricula in your school? NGA's new project, Making Connections
Through Gardening, provides learning activities that help students
consider the vital roles of gardening and agriculture throughout
the world. This interdisciplinary education program for students in
grades 5-8 connects 25 schools from Nicaragua with 50 schools
across the U.S. Students learn about their Nicaraguan friends'
culture, gardening practices, and nutritional habits, and gain an
awareness of the environmental issues faced by people living in
Nicaragua. All participants have access to curriculum activities on
the National Gardening Association's Web site.

To participate, you need Internet access, an e-mail address, an
interest in global environmental issues, and knowledge of basic Spanish
(or contact with community member that knows the language). To become a
Making Connections Through Gardening ambassador club, please send your
name, e-mail address, school name, class size, and grade level to project
coordinator Joan White at joanw@garden.org.
