What’s Happening in Our Schoolyard?
St. Paul’s is total green. Curriculum. Community. Campus. Passionate about bringing excitement to learning for our students and other students in the community, St. Paul’s is completely redesigning its school yard to take advantage of teaching opportunities provided in the great outdoors.
Operating from the assumption that children need and benefit from more time outside, St. Paul’s redesigned schoolyard will include a Culinary Garden, Pavilion, Outdoor Culinary Center, and Outdoor Classroom. When it is complete, the yard will be a major hub for school and community activity.
St. Paul’s Culinary Garden will house approximately 1,200 square feet of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The garden will include Sensory Gardens, Farmer’s Gardens, Themed Gardens, and Vertical Gardens. The new schoolyard will be an amazing asset with unlimited potential for students and community members. When it is complete our yard will be like no other!
Benefits of School Gardening:
Hands-on learning opportunities, good nutrition and exercise, life skills development, sense of community, and culinary training, Positive work ethic, Self-confidence!
