Last fall, over 50 WVU elementary education students in the WVU School of Education
visited Crellin Elementary School to learn about the school's innovative place-based
education practices as part of their coursework. On Friday, March 31, the students
from Crellin made a return visit to WVU to learn about college and about being
a college student.
Crellin Elementary School is a rural Appalachian school in Maryland that is nationally renowned for its emphasis on community engagement, relationships, sustainability, project learning, strong academic achievement, and local/global connections.
On Friday, WVU students Zane Collings, Amy Kraft, Sarah Molineau, Emily Oldham, Erin Pride, and Ellie Widders led the children on a tour of the WVU campus that included campus buildings, dorms, the recreation center, PRT, WVU Art Museum and more.
