Help me give my students picnic tables for our two outdoor classrooms so our students have permanent structures to work and learn at.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Laux's classroom raised $10,793
This project is fully funded
My Project
My Project has partnered with Reflo Sustainable Water Solutions, and we are set to begin construction on a greener, healthier playground by removing approximately 22,800 square feet of asphalt.
While learning outdoors and in the fresh air, we can boost academics, and our students will show improvements in focus, attention, memory, creativity, and critical thinking.
Our school’s schoolyard redevelopment includes multiple outdoor classrooms and gathering areas complete with seating and materials to support outdoor learning. Nearby green infrastructure including stormwater trees, bioswales, and native
plantings also serve as unique learning spaces and provide pollinator habitat and a calm, relaxing area to support social-emotional well-being and other curricular connections. Interpretative signage throughout the schoolyard will support student-curated tours and encourage learning through self-guided exploration.
To support student learning and growth in these new outdoor spaces, we need permanent, accessible seating to complete the classroom areas.
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
