🌳 Anderson Grove Elementary got a start on their plans for an outdoor classroom, with a little help from students at Papillion La Vista High School and Papillion La Vista South High School! Seniors in the two high school construction classes made picnic tables to jumpstart the creation of Anderson Grove's developing vision of using outdoor spaces to help students grow in their learning. Mr. Pospisil (PLHS) and Mr. Campbell (PLSHS) came out as representatives to inaugurate the use of the new benches. Teachers will have a chance to use the new space as soon as next week! The tables in a shaded space are just the kickoff of longterm plans Anderson Grove has to maximize its outdoor space for students to learn and thrive. Special thanks to Cayden Rouse (PLSHS) and Gavin Hamilton (PLHS) and Jeremy "JJ" Zerzan (PLHS) for making these tables their project! Special thanks also to First Star Recycling and Solutions Plastic Lumber for donating materials for the PLSHS table, which features a material made completely of recycled plastic bags! 🤯 #WeArePLCS (fb)
