Hillendale Outdoor Classroom Hillendale received a generous $8,000.00 grant from the Unionville-Chadds Ford Educational Foundation for the construction of an "Outdoor Classroom." The goal of this project is to create a readily accessible natural area where teachers can bring their students to study nature. We will have several Saturday workdays to build a fence around the pond and to erect some benches and student work areas. Then we will begin to plant. There will be opportunities for all classes to get involved in some planting as the project moves forward. All Hillendale students will be planting red tulips and yellow daffodils in the area as part of our Red Ribbon Week activities here at Hillendale.
The Saturday work days planned are:
Oct. 2 - Setting posts, (NO children please)
Oct. 16 - Building fence, and benches, putting out top soil, (ALL invited)
Oct. 23 - Planting Day, (ALL invited)We will usually start at around 8:30 and go until 12 or so.
Below are some photos of the Saturday, October 2, 2004 work session.
