Last week, we gathered at Allan A. Greenleaf Elementary School to celebrate a truly special milestone - the revitalization of the Kindergarten Outdoor Learning Space.
This inspiring project was made possible thanks to a remarkable $15,000 gift from Kal Tire, whose generosity and belief in the power of outdoor, hands-on learning will make a lasting impact on our youngest students.
This new outdoor classroom is a shining example of what’s possible when community and education come together in support of student success!
