NACD In Action

Clark County Childrens Choir

NACD Second Vice President Jack Majeres promoted Stewardship Week in his home state of South Dakota. Last week, Majeres presented information about soil and water stewardship to third grade students at the St. Mary School in Dell Rapids, SD. The students enjoyed learning about natural resource conservation. The lesson focused on soil, water, air, plants and animals and how we need to be good stewards of resources so future generations will have them to use for their needs. Students gained a better understanding about what being "a good steward" means. The Soil Burger activity from the NACD's "Soil to Spoon" education page was a favorite, as the students were able to trace the food products in the activity back to the soil. Each student received a "Soil to Spoon" Level 2 booklet and a bookmark, both available at the NACD Store. Send your stewardship and education outreach events and photos to susan-schultz@nacdnet.org.
