A<br />
s students and teachers returned to<br />
the classroom, Muddy Sneakers<br />
played a vital role in helping them<br />
overcome the challenges of recent years<br />
and addressing new issues stemming<br />
from policies and budget cuts. We<br />
provided valuable assistance to<br />
educators during another school year<br />
marked by high attrition rates and<br />
teacher shortages.<br />
Our strong, established relationships<br />
with classroom teachers allowed us to<br />
tailor our support to meet the unique<br />
needs of each school partner.<br />
With Muddy Sneakers' unwavering<br />
support, students received crucial help<br />
rebuilding their social-emotional<br />
development and enhancing their<br />
learning experiences.<br />
Throughout our partnership, we<br />
recognized the increasing benefits we<br />
could offer our school partners through<br />
our expertise and support. For teachers,<br />
we provided hands-on field expeditions,<br />
engaging LIVE! Online programs<br />
(formerly Skype-a-Sneaker), and an<br />
ever-expanding Classroom Curriculum,<br />
reinforcing essential subjects like<br />
science, math, social studies, language<br />
arts, and visual arts.<br />
Our N.C. State University research<br />
partnership revealed that Muddy<br />
Sneakers helped teachers combat<br />
burnout, foster meaningful student<br />
connections, and improve behaviors and<br />
test scores, especially for students facing<br />
challenges in traditional classrooms.<br />
Muddy Sneakers remains committed to<br />
positively impacting our schools and<br />
communities.<br />
