School ProgramsProfessional Youth Educator Shannon Range can provide a wide variety of hands-on, fun but educational programs to Grundy and Kankakee County schools, libraries, and other youth focused organizations.
The programs tie directly to Next Generation Science Standards and thus, build on prior knowledge. Most programs include projects or hands-on activities. In most cases, there’s no cost to the school. SCHEDULING - Once you have selected a topic, please view the dates/times on my availability calendar and email me a list of THREE dates that would work with your class/es in the order of preference. I will get back to you as soon as I can to let you know which date/times works with my schedule. |
COVID-19 NOTICE: Effective immediately, ALL face-to-face events organized by Illinois Extension have been cancelled, suspended, or transitioned to online delivery. This will apply to all events previously scheduled through May 31, 2020
