New Education Initiative Aims to Inspire Young Minds in Sedona
December 27, 2025 - 21:47
Diane Kristoff, the newly appointed education director for a local organization, is eager to share her passion for science with the youth of Sedona. After relocating from Scottsdale, Kristoff, a former middle school science teacher, has been captivated by the unique geological features of the area. One intriguing aspect she discovered is that Sedona never had dinosaurs, a fact she attributes to the region's distinct red rock formations.
Kristoff plans to create engaging educational programs that will not only inform children about the local environment but also spark their curiosity about the natural world. By exploring questions like why certain species thrived in different areas, she hopes to cultivate a deeper appreciation for science among students.
Her vision includes hands-on activities and interactive lessons that connect children with their surroundings, fostering a sense of stewardship for the beautiful landscape of Sedona. With her enthusiasm and expertise, Kristoff is set to make a lasting impact on the community's youth.
