My Students

We a school that works incredibly hard to meet the needs of all learners. During this most difficult time, with increased mandatory protocols for cleaning, masking, awareness to space and general safety measures, our school is looking at ways to make the most of our outdoor space. The students at Dr. W. J. Creel come from diverse socio economic situations and despite the daily hurdles they embrace, they love being on our campus and are thirsty for learning. Our students are inquisitive, full of compassion and intuitive.

Our students enjoy being in open spaces and they are incredibly respectful to the learning of others around them.

Our campus is an open classroom set up, so each day students are cognizant of the other classrooms and work hard to honor each other as they learn and grow.

My Project

Creating a learning space that is comfortable and useful for students is challenging. Our school team has been working tirelessly with the district staff and custodial teams to keep our kids safe while following all the state guidelines for Covid-19. While working to make our campus feel safe and "normal" during these times, we are looking to expand our classroom space outside.

The products that I have selected will help our students, and teachers, by giving them an additional learning space outdoors.

The picnic tables are sturdy and will last for many years to come. Our teachers have been getting creative with learning space while following social distancing recommendations within the school and we are excited to see them utilize an outdoor classroom. This space will be available to students of all ages at our campus. Fresh air has a positive effect on kids, and adults, and research shows an increase in overall school performance, attitude and enthusiasm to learn. We are excited to see how high our Eagles will soar!
