A nice article about our work at Nebinger school and Friends of Nebinger

Thank you Senator Sharif Street

Attended a standing room only meeting at T. M. Pierce Elementary School last evening to discuss planned transition to another school facility while full abateme...nt and repairs to bathrooms are being done. The school district must be transparent and accountable to parents when there are hazardous conditions in their facilities. Pierce was on the closure list in 2012. It remained open. The school district borrowed $500 Million dollars to remediate asbestos and replace Pierce and Cassidy schools. We need local, statewide and national infrastructure funding to address the issue of aging schools. See more

This is an excellent resource

So thrilled to see this vision come out of the ground. Great changes for the Duckrey community and thrilled to know we will have new eyes watching over the newly renovated schoolyard

We were thrilled to be able to provide backbone support for the Goats at George W. Nebinger School. The goal was to use the goats to help the students; 1.Observe the cycles of environmental inter-dependence and water management 2.Learn about goats and their role in maintaining native plant species and 3.Identify and practice ways for students to take care of their environment (stewardship)
