Moab Charter School

(www.moabcharterschool.org)

Moab Charter School (MCS, formerly Moab Community School) is a charter school, which is a public school that is run by an independent school board. The school has its charter with the State of Utah, and, as such, is actually its own independent school district funded by the state. All children are able to attend MCS but the school can set smaller class sizes, address individual student needs, and develop its own curriculum to meet the Utah Core Curriculum standards. Peggy O'Reilly teaches 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at the Charter School and is a master educator enrolled in BOEP. Peggy embraces bioregional education, and is currently helping her class write a play based on Moab's history.

Grand County Middle School

Librarian Carol Stephenson and para-educator Monique Van Den Broeke make up BOEP's team at Grand County Middle School. Carol has incorporated many Colorado-Plateau based books into the library's collection and together they have written new outdoor geometry lessons for Moniques special ed math class. The kids they work with have developed quite a knack with a compass.

Red Rock hosts 3 BOEP master educators: Lucy Curtis and Catherine Sturman, both kindergarten, and Mary McGann, who teaches 3rd grade. The ladies have developed a cross grade collaboration project between 3rd and K.
