This issue of Horace Mann Magazine takes readers on a trip to “Dorr” to discover how this nature center is contributing to preserving nature (p. 6); visits students, teachers and those essential to the School’s operation, from the Nursery Division through the Upper Division, to learn how valuing the environment is included within Horace Mann’s educational values (p. 21); looks at some of the ways that HM alumni are involved in efforts toward a sustainable environment.
