Your children using these classrooms to observe, experiment with, and experience the natural world. Imagine . . . Wildlife habitat and natural beauty being reclaimed in your children's schoolyard. Modeled on the National Wildlife Federation's Schoolyard Habitats program, Haycock Habitats will give our school an environment for learning outdoors to enhance the indoor curriculum. Our staff and teacher leaders will use Haycock Habitats to stir the creative minds of our students.
Studies show that kids lean more and retain longer under natural light.
Our parent coordinators will recruit experts to explore the habitat and provide the teachers with the resources they need. Help will come through grants and fundraising. The success of this project will require a donation of time, talent, equipment, materials, and enthusiasm . Grassy areas at the perimeters of the property will be replaced with a wildflower meadow, woodland area, and a butterfly garden including a pergola and benches for class seating. These areas will provide habitats for native flora and fauna displaced by rampant development.
