Outdoor Classroom: Let the Adventure Begin!
“I’d like to create an outdoor classroom where we can take learning outside. If we want to launch water rockets or test water samples, we can do it from our outdoor classroom. Using the outdoor classroom as a greenhouse, students can learn to use green energy sources to power the space. This would create a wonderful place for learning opportunities at CAST Med High School.”

Music for Motivation, Sound for Socialization & After School Involvement Initiative
“Having an Innovative Sound System that plays music during class motivates the students to workout harder and they have more fun during PE class. It makes a difference when students can hear the Fitness Gram (state-mandated test for (Physical Education) and when students can hear clear concise instructional directions. We want to give them an outlet to work out the stressors of their life in a positive manner.”

Math Manipulatives & Games
“As a kinder teacher, it is hard to get the students engaged. When their mind and bodies are fully engaged, it helps me understand areas where they can grow faster than traditional whole-group learning. Thank you to the donors for this opportunity. It makes teaching fun and doable”
