Stewardship Week
Stewardship week is held the last week of April and Shavano encourages the celebration by offering supplies and a presentation to the Elementary Schools in our district. Each presentation is done using and EnviroScape model, teaching the importance of conserving our natural resources. It gives the students a good visual of how easily our soil is washed away along with other contaminants into our water system.
