Journey to the Arctic

I will be leaving for Churchill, Manitoba (Canada) on Sept.21-Oct.1 to take part on an expedition in which educators and scientists from around the U.S. will help gather information about the permafrost level and how global warming is affecting it. This trip is made possible through an educators' grant from HSBC. Their generosity has awarded eight educators from all over the U.S. to be a part of this particular expedition. I am so excited about learning all I can about an environment that is so foreign to me, as well as a subject I've only heard about on t.v. or read about in magazine articles. I can't wait to take the knowledge I learn and apply it to my world, as well as educate others on how to make positive changes in their world.
