Wonder what to do when the kids are out of school for a day?  Check out
our Discovery Day Camps for kids K-5th.  It's a day full of fun at CDM!

Subject: Partnership models with local school district

institutions.

We're in conversations with our local school district regarding
potential partnership opportunities, and wondering what some models are
that are already working in other areas.  For example-if you do
outreach, do you have a contract for a certain number of programs to be
provided per year?  Do you offer a package deal for a certain grade
level for field trip focus?  Are there internship opportunities for
students at a certain grade level?  We're also especially interested in
a choice school concept, but housed at the school, not the museum (space
constraints.)  Off list response is just fine!  Thank you in advance for
any suggestions/ideas!
