Growing Up Green

Growing Up Green presented at the NAEYC 2009 Annual Conference and Expo in Washington D.C., November 20, 2009! We appreciate all of the attendees that participated in our workshop. It was a wonderful opportunity to share ideas and rejuvenate our passion for raising environmentally responsible children. Here are some photos from the workshop.
