Outdoor Classroom and Rain Garden
MAM Fund dedication and donations helped create our school’s new 14,000 square-foot environmental classroom and exploratory rain garden. This $140,000 project transformed what was formerly a 10,000 square-foot asphalt parking lot and adjacent turf into an environmentally friendly landscape. Students can research and record the natural cycle of rainwater as the garden’s creek bed directs water from disconnected roof downspouts to the rain garden.
