3/25/21: We are moving right along in our Outdoor Classroom Journey! Today, a special PTO meeting was held to discuss designers and propose a special budget. We are so happy to announce that Nature Explore has been selected to design our outdoor space. Nature Explore (natureexplore.org) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to outdoor classroom design, educator workshops, and sourcing natural products. Next steps are a check with facilities to ensure we have selected an appropriate space and selecting a steering committee. Please let us know if you are interested in serving on the steering committee.
