Fall Into Fun School Clean-Ups
MWS Back to School Green Space Maintenance
Saturday 8/28 and Sunday 8/29 between 9-11a.m.
The school grounds is a place of pride and learning.
It is our kids' daily environment; let's get it ready for them.
Grounds Clean-ups and Maintenance are actually full of fun together.
We will get together on Saturday and Sunday to update the school grounds. Our impact is so much more than making it look good. It is coming together to prepare our hearts and minds with our collective space.
Clean-ups are an important part of getting out kids and parents involved in being a part of our environment. We all want the places where we spend time to be a beneficial environment. Our outdoor educational spaces are places of tiger pride.
Our back to school clean-ups are opportunities for:
View our Green Tiger Champions of 2020!
For more information and inspiration on maintaining our outside space read more below, or just ask Mr. C this Saturday!

Use outdoor spaces for education
Though the year is starting virtually there is still a great space to learn physically. Our blacktop (area 7) allows for social distance for over 100 people. The Outdoor Classroom Amphitheater seats over 36 students with social distancing, and our Veggie Garden holds four 4'x12' planting rows allowing space for 10 agricultural learners. These plots are perfect for scholars to roll up their sleeves and create their own green studies. The blacktop itself is a great space for learning to ride a bike, skate, or practice physical activities outside.
The MWS rain garden has tiger loop; a mulched path to explore numerous native plants. We share a learning garden for peaceful learning and instruction. These public outdoor spaces are a place for our scholars to visit, explore, and learn in. We encourage families to take logical safety measures in any outdoor adventures. Exercise and learning go together, and safer outdoors than crowded indoor spaces. Please practice social distancing, wear a maks, wash your hands and be safe. See 15 resources to get kids outside! |
Celebration Harvest/Plant fall greensWe will collect our summer harvest. Saturday and Sunday we collected harvested and replanted for the fall. Seeing the seasonal cycle through plants helps our scholars connect time and life cycles in our world. We encourage families and pods to see this familiar cycle with us, or at another time. The space is available to share and learn together.
We plan to identify harvest and plant:
