The construction of our Outdoor Learning Center was completed during the Spring of 2025. This exciting new space will include a beautiful stage with bench seating—perfect for outdoor classes and small performances—sensory bins, a sensory activity path, yard games, and more! None of this would be possible without the incredible generosity and support of our amazing Hawk families.
Check out some of the below in progress pictures, and then the next time you’re on campus – take a look at the completed courtyard!
We have BIG dreams as a PTA. Now that this Outdoor Learning Center is completed for students, we need to make sure that the upkeep is taken care of as well for all of our students so they can continue to take their learning OUTSIDE!
There are so many benefits to having more learning taking place outside. Here are a few:
- Outdoor Classrooms Provide the Perfect Setting for all Subjects
- Better Test Scores
- Higher Grade Point Averages
- Decreased Behavioral Problems
- Reduced Symptoms of ADHD
- Decreased Stress
- Better Sleep
- Increased Immune Function
- And so much more…
A big “thank you” and shout out to Southern Limits for bringing our Outdoor Learning dreams to life!
