  • 2 surveys away from a Hat & Shoe of Choice Day! The Outdoor Learning Space Committee is excited to share our school’s plan to create three new Outdoor Learning Spaces for all K-8 students. These spaces will offer flexible, year-round environments for teaching, STEM activities, testing, student support, and more. Before finalizing funding, our Board of Directors wants parent feedback. Your input will help determine if, when, and to what extent these projects move forward. It will also strengthen our case for grants and fundraising.
