How might we Make Andy Proud by instilling a love of place and curiosity about the Boise Foothills in second graders?The One Stone team took on a doubly heart melting challenge in this call to be inspired by a beloved One Stone Champion and parent, Andy Simonds.

In recognition of his legacy, we wanted to develop a project that would bring this kind of love of the outdoors to kids who might not have the opportunity to explore the wonders of Boise.
