My Project

I would love your help in creating an outdoor classroom for my school. Not just my class, but a place for everyone who desires an outdoor classroom experience. We need a pergola and six picnic tables to realize this dream.

Research has shown that outdoor learning can greatly benefit students' mental health and academic performance.

For example, students are often calmer and better able to focus when learning in nature, and teachers have reported better behavior and social interactions with fewer disciplinary issues.

Please consider helping my school have an outdoor classroom for an exciting and engaging teaching space.
