Vision: The Prairie Vista Elementary School community is committed to advancing the educational and ecological resources in the eastern most section of the school’s property, known affectionately as “the prairie.” The purpose is to leverage the school’s outdoor spaces to promote active learning through outdoor education and exploration.
Goals: The PTO hopes to assist the school in:
· restoring the health ands safety of the school’s natural habitats
· reestablishing the landscape structures that facilitate educational use of the area (i.e. signage, tables, etc..)
· investing in educational tools that enable the students to more fully utilize the environment (i.e. boots, equipment, etc…)
· underwriting professional development for teachers in environmental education
