To revolutionize the learning experience for students and staff at Sand Creek Elementary, this outdoor classroom has been strategically positioned to face the mountains and sit beneath the shade of existing and newly planted trees, creating a serene and inspiring environment where indoor lessons seamlessly transition to the outdoors. Designed in collaboration with teachers, and the principal, the team at BNP classroom thoughtfully integrates existing features like the school garden while introducing new outdoor classroom components. This classroom is designed to be a lasting resource, providing endless opportunities for engagement, exploration, and hands-on education.
Collaboration Highlights:
- Garden Integration: We worked closely with the school to relocate their beloved garden, ensuring the classroom could take advantage of the stunning mountain views. The garden remains a vital part of the classroom experience, supporting the activities of the school’s garden club.
- Tree Donation: A local nursery generously donated trees, adding shade, beauty, and a connection to the environment.
Opening of Outdoor Classroom at Sand Creek Elementary
“We have a passionate team of educators, who are excited to support their students outdoors. Our existing garden club is one that students love, and with the outdoor classroom, we now have the infrastructure to support more outdoor education and exploration. This is a positive addition and we are grateful to BNP for being so generous.” – Sand Creek Elementary
