Friends
of the Darke County Parks Field Trip Grant Received
Megan Delk, Greenville Kindergarten teacher, is the lucky recipient of
the first-ever grant awarded from the Friends of Darke County Parks for
field trip transportation costs. Through the efforts of Mrs. Delk
and generosity of the Friends of Darke County Parks, all Greenville
Kindergarteners explored animal adaptations at Shawnee Prairie Preserve
at absolutely zero cost to the Greenville City School District.
All Darke County schools are encouraged to bring their classes to Darke
County Parks for engaging, hands-on exploration at no cost to the
students. However, schools still have to incur the costs for
transportation to and from the park. The Friends of Darke County
Parks are consistently working with the staff to make our parks more
accessible for all students. The Friends of the Parks received a
generous amount from the Harry D. Stephens Memorial Fund and made the
decision to offer those funds to schools for bussing costs. Mrs.
Delk filled out the application, which can be found on the parks'
website at www.darkecountyparks.org, and was awarded the amount needed
to cover the transportation. This is just one more opportunity
for schools who have limited funds and field trips to take advantage of
the programs Darke County Parks offer. For more information or
for an application for a future field trip, please contact Darke County
Parks at 937-548-0165 or info@darkecountyparks.org
