Help me give my students an amazing outside classroom with 4 Lifetime Folding Picnic Tables! Students will have science lessons outside in our courtyard. The community area will also be used for lunchtime outside, and social-emotional support!
Our neglected and underutilized courtyard got a new makeover this year! The rotting wood, weeds, and old garden beds are gone, and we are ready to make it a school community place where students can learn in fresh air!
Donated pavers will be installed over half of the courtyard; we need your help obtaining picnic tables to complete our outdoor classroom!
The other half of the courtyard will be a pollinator garden and raised beds where students will grow plants and vegetables from seeds.
The picnic tables will be used for outdoor classroom instruction, a rotating schedule for class lunch outside, a social-emotional area to calm students, and family events such as "Muffins with Mom," frequently held at the school.
More than half of 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
