In the Courtyard

We have been keeping our eyes on the cleanup taking place in our courtyard. Our classroom's windows are the perfect vantage point! Mr. Gyra, a science teacher at our local high school who was responsible for coordinating efforts to create the Astro Park there, is lending his expertise and connections to the redesign of our courtyard area. A project of this magnitude truly is a community endeavor requiring the support of many dedicated parents, teachers, and local businesses. In the end, students will reap the benefits of having an enhanced space for educational and creative pursuits.

Students in Room 244 are interested in the courtyard improvements and are ready to help in any way we can. Today we went out take a look and had a spirited discussion about the Vikings in the amphitheater area. Here are a couple of "before" pictures. We'll keep you posted on the progress . . .
