Calf Mountain Project

Trail to Every Classroom

Trail to Every Classroom was a professional development program for K-12 teachers that provided educators with the tools and training for place-based education and service-learning on the Appalachian Trail. The PATC in the SNP South District strongly benefited from the association forged by Ms. Betty Gatewood between PATC and the students at Riverhead High School in Staunton, Virginia.

You take a break when you need a break
These young people worked well together
Keep spread out away from your neighbor's tools
Day's End - But these people are ready for more!
