Dear students, parents and fellow teachers,
Ms. Dressler was chosen to be a Teacher-Ranger-Teacher at the Florida Everglades this summer. My mission is to educate everyone about the importance and beauty of our Everglades. It is imperative that children embrace nature into their lives, and it is our duty to ensure that they are afforded the opportunities we did as children. We must all work together to save our Everglades National Parks, so that our children and many generations to come can experience as we all did.
For the next eight weeks, I will be giving programs and working on projects to ensure that our guests and students connect and receive the ultimate experience of the Florida Everglades. Did you know??
Everglades National Park protects the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. It is made up of 1.5 million acres. The area boasts rare and endangered species, such as the American Crocodile, Florida Panther, and West Indian Manatee. It has been designated an International Biosphere reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance, in recognition of its significance to all the people of the world.
It is up to us to make a difference. I'm VERY excited about sharing my experience with you. I hope that you will all see what I see and join us in saving our Everglades.
