My Project

Imagine a classroom with the sun for a light, where children can breathe the fresh air and learn to read under a canopy of trees! So often, we get in the routine of having students sit at their desks to complete their assignments when we have a beautiful learning environment right outside our windows! I would like to create an outdoor classroom outside our school for students to come and do their best learning.

Studies show that children being outdoors reduces stress and anxiety, improves focus, and better develops eyesight.

Help me, help these students by providing picnic tables for creating an outdoor learning space for my class, and also other classes in our school! Having this space outside our school will benefit countless students and have a huge impact on their growth, mental health, and development.
