Jane Poynter, one of several 2012 honorees of the Inside Tucson Business Women of Influence, continues to affect change through the implementation of a rain garden at Walter Douglas Elementary. (...)

“It’s about breaking down barriers for kids in science,” said Ms. Poynter when asked about why the program focuses on elementary and middle school youth. “It’s about making science relevant and interesting to students at a critical age when they begin to form choices about future careers and education.” With Jane’s leadership, C4C has brought together a 6th grade classroom at Walter Douglas Elementary, a C4C school, and Watershed Management Group to collaborate on building a rain garden on school grounds.
