SHUMLA Hits the Road
in Fall 2012
This fall, SHUMLA's education team will begin to deliver an exciting new initiative: mobile programming. SHUMLA's mobile programs are hands-on discovery learning experiences featuring SHUMLA staff on location at schools and other learning venues.

SHUMLA programming is now mobile! Contact staff about bringing SHUMLA to your school.

As SHUMLA staff prepares to launch this program, meeting the learning needs of communities is a priority. The Ray C. Fish Foundation has pledged to underwrite the cost of programming for five schools with financial need on the border, and staff hopes that SHUMLA's supporters will contribute to the expansion of the project. "We're always looking for new opportunities to expand our services, and donors are a huge part of that," noted Assistant Deputy Executive Director Jeanette Pauer.
