My Project

This project will transform the school's outdoor courtyard into a welcoming, functional gathering space where students can socialize, study, collaborate, and relax during lunch periods, before school, and after school activities. The courtyard will be designed to encourage positive peer interaction, support student well-being, and create a stronger sense of school community.

Many students currently have limited access to comfortable outdoor spaces for socializing and informal learning.

Research shows that access to safe, inviting outdoor environments can improve student engagement, reduce stress, and strengthen relationships among students. By upgrading the courtyard, the school will provide a dedicated space that supports both academic and social development. With these activities I am asking for this grant that would be a start to making a courtyard a more welcoming place for students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
