Natural playgrounds and other uses of outdoor space create rich opportunities for curriculum development (in science, history, creative arts, and more) as well as important time for students to spend outside. Contact Julie for more information or to contribute.

Baths require almost twice as much water. You will reduce water consumption and your water heating bill. Every two minutes you save on your shower can conserve more than 10 gallons of water.
