Dear potential supporters,
Few of us will ever lend our names to foundations, hospitals or schools. Yet we offer you a way to make a difference in your community and in the lives of others.
Please consider supporting The St. Louis Teacher's Recycle Center’s “Van-GO”. Van-Go is a mobile classroom filled with unique, thought provoking reusable materials. Teachers and students from all over St. Louis will be eligible to walk on the vehicle to collect resources and explore new uses of discarded materials. After school workshops are also offered at several elementary schools and parks.
“Van-Go” Philosophy
We want to get kids to “Play” with Science, Math, Language and Art in an Eco-friendly, child centered way. We believe that our materials helps foster awareness and appreciation that motivate learners to further questioning, better understanding, and appropriate concern and action.
