My Project
Research shows that outdoor learning spaces significantly improve students' mental health, focus, and academic engagement. I’m seeking support to create an outdoor classroom space with blankets and a storage bench where students can connect with nature while learning.
Being outside reduces stress and anxiety, boosts mood, and enhances creativity—critical benefits for growing minds.
This courtyard space, with an underutilized grassy area and functioning pond, will provide a calm, inspiring environment where students can read, write, explore science, and reflect. With your help, we can turn fresh air and sunshine into powerful tools for emotional well-being and academic success.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
