2010-11 Junior Naturalists

The Junior Naturalists (JN) will begin another season at Grainwood very soon. Each classroom in Grades 3-5 has between 2-4 representatives participating in this eco-friendly leadership program. Junior Naturalists exhibit the following characteristics:
  • Have strong environmental ethics and can be a role model of environmental stewardship for the Grainwood community, as well as all of Prior Lake-Savage.
  • Follow the Grainwood C.A.R.E.S. at all times and in all places.
  • Are willing to speak in front of the classroom.
  • Are organized and have good teamwork skills.
  • Are up-to-date with classroom work and assignments.
  • Are responsible, respectful, listen well and follow directions.
  • Enjoy being outside.
  • Are willing to get dirty!
  • Are a hard worker.
  • Are able to attend monthly meetings after school.

We are grateful to the Junior Naturalists, their advisors: Jill Kufrin and Andrea Swanson, and PLSAS's commitment to environmental education.
