My Project

Students love to get fresh air while they learn. We would like an outdoor space to allow the students to engage in conversations, play games, and work on group projects.

These tables allow us to have space to create an outdoor classroom where students can take learning outside which is more engaging and fun.

A place where students can work outside would be invaluable to our students during the school day. All of the students at our K-8 school will have access to the tables to learn and grow together. Thank you for your support.
