My Project
My students are imaginative, playful, and sociable. They deserve furniture on our playground that engages them in play. A mud oven can make a big difference in student learning by offering rich, hands-on experiences that go beyond traditional classroom activities.
A mud kitchen nurtures teamwork & collaboration-From gathering materials to baking the first loaf, students work together—sharing responsibilities, solving problems, and celebrating success as a group.
Using natural materials and learning creates a deep sensory experience that brings joy, builds confidence, and makes learning feel meaningful. Students will be engaged in real-world tasks like mixing, shaping, and cooking in a fun and memorable way.
Nearly all 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
