More than 1,000 Wisconsin kids serve as Junior Coach student leaders on the playground by leading games and modeling positive sporting behavior for their peers.

Reflo

Playgrounds across MPS are greener and healthier thanks to a partnership with Reflo. This environmental nonprofit works with other organizations to design, construct, and renovate MPS schoolyards like ours, which opened in 2021. Reflo combines environmental education, water management, and child’s play to create greener, healthier playgrounds. Each project is tailored to the specific needs and enthusiasm of the school’s community and can include outdoor classrooms, recreational facilities, and arts opportunities.

Colectivo’s bakery in Bay View creates baked goods using high-quality ingredients from Midwest farmers and producers. Our second graders enjoy a field trip to the bakery to learn how tasty treats are made.

Urban Ecology Center

Milwaukee’s three Urban Ecology Centers provide year-round educational programs for kids, families, and adults of all ages. The centers help make urban parks safer, enrich classroom curriculum, and provide students with the science skills they need to succeed. Allen-Field students visit the UEC for field experiences through UEC’s Neighborhood Environmental Education Project (NEEP).
