Celebrating National Public Lands Day at Borton!
This week, our third grade students were visited by Mountain Mamas, who taught them about the importance of caring for our shared public lands. This message connects beautifully with Borton’s commitment to outdoor learning and helping students grow as stewards of the earth. Our kids don’t just learn about the world — they explore it, care for it, and take action to protect it for the future. 🌱✨
Thank you, Mountain Mamas, for inspiring our students to see themselves as caretakers of the places we all love!
