A NOTE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR Dear Friends and Supporters of Muddy Sneakers, It is my pleasure to present to you Muddy Sneakers’ Annual Report for 2022 - 2023, a year characterized by a significant milestone, thanks to your unwavering support: the completion of 16 years of dedicated service to North Carolina’s public schools. This landmark year was marked by a number of significant accomplishments - most notably the successful hiring and onboarding of our new Executive Director, David Rahahę•tih Webb. David’s visionary leadership has invigorated our team and brought fresh perspectives to our mission. Guided by his leadership and inspired by 16 years of cherished memories, milestones, and meaningful connections, the Muddy Sneakers team has meticulously crafted a comprehensive two-year plan. This strategic blueprint addresses the evolving needs of schools we serve, while increasing our capacity to enrich learning and reach students across our state. Additionally, our refined approach to forging strategic partnerships allows us to expand our reach while preserving our core commitment to academic excellence in the schools we support. These initiatives will allow us to guide more students than ever along forest trails, through babbling brooks, and under the vast canopy of trees, all the while weaving together the threads of science, conservation, and personal well-being. We are able to be there for our schools because you are here in support of our mission. Together, we served 3,074 students and bolstered the teaching aptitude of 137 educators during the 2022-23 school year. Your gifts, dedication, and volunteering makes this work possible. As we reflect on the past year's achievements, we are excited about the path ahead, where we will ignite within more than 4,200 students a passion for learning that is as boundless as the natural world itself. We invite you to join us in embracing the future - a future where every child has the opportunity to connect with nature, to learn with wonder, and to grow with purpose. With heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support, Betsy Jordan CHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS 1
