With these funds our campus will...

convert a 2,700 square foot aging and unused playground into an outdoor classroom that will be used by all grade levels to develop a rich learning environment for all of our students.  Before we can USE the Outdoor Classroom, we are participating in a PBL to DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT the Outdoor Classroom!!  This will require planning, time, labor and money.  The committee has created a ‘needs and wants’ list for our new classroom. Each and every aspect of this project, including school-wide funding activities, construction, calculations, upkeep and planning will be done by the kids.  We need your help to get us fully funded!!

• Each grade level will be responsible for some aspect of the classroom dependent upon their age and ability level.
• Teachers will guide students through problem solving and the creative aspects of this project. We estimate it will take about a year to complete.
• After construction, classes can use this space for all curricular subjects and STEM- and TEKS-based activities including but certainly not limited to plant cycle, water cycle, graphing, personal financial literacy, graphing, data collection, measurement, literacy experiences, art and music activities and energy transformations.

We will use the funds to purchase materials such as wood, nails, paint, dirt, flowers, plants, and materials to create fencing, a storage shed, lighting, weather tools, signage, raised flower beds, shade, cisterns, water cycle feature, easels, solar panels, and a water reclamation system.

Your support would drive our mission and help us create enriching experiences. The experience-rich facets of this classroom go far beyond the typical classroom walls and textbooks our kids have now. We need your help in any way you’re able to give it to make this a lasting.
