Welcome to REconnect Nature School, a nature-based STEAM education program for middle grades. Private programs are often cost-exclusionary.

We are Jaime Peterson and Rebecca Westbrook Toker, two gals who have been in education and social work for about 20 years each. This program is a response to some gaps that we've seen in the Chattanooga educational landscape in recent years: Forest School Programs don't exist for students after elementary school. Outdoor programs aren't reaching special populations. Educational programs of all kin

Last month we loaded up our F24 and headed out to to race in the Green Prix sponsored by our friends . It was long, full, exciting day of racing, problem solving, and teamwork! We couldn’t have been prouder of our racing team who built this car and worked together to make their first race day one to remember!

Over here we are passionate about Citizen Science, so we asked the TVA STEM Ready program for a grant to install 5-6 weather stations around Chattanooga, and they awarded us the money to make it happen! This initiative will launch in the Fall of 2026! We are excited to start collecting data, mobilizing communities to be citizen scientists, and collaborate on some grassroots local climate action plans!

Meet the Artists!!! Holly and Hemlock are a brother and sister artists duo! They create vibrant, whimsical paintings that are full of joy and love! We can’t wait for you guys to see their art in person, and are jealous of the person who gets to add these to their home!

Meet Riley! Riley is a local young artists who is including their stunning nature based paintings at Flap Jacks and Fine Arts! Riley says “Creativity is best, when served with a little crazy.” We are fans of Riley’s version of crazy, because her art is crazy good.
