THANK YOU to everyone who came and worked so hard on the Nature Playground getting it ready for our students to come back! And a special THANK YOU to Tyffany Roten for leading this effort! What an incredible job!
We’ve been busy adding, organizing, tidying, and sprinkling a little extra fun around the Nature Playground, and there’s SO much new for our Yoder Eagles to explore!
🎭 The stage is ready for its stars! We added tons of dress-up accessories so kids can create characters, put on a show, and let those imaginations run wild.
🧲 The magnet wall got organized with even more magnets and a storage box for extras.
🧚 The fairy garden welcomed some new animal friends, plus a tote to keep everything organized.
🥁 We added more fun to the music wall.
🍳 The sand kitchen got a full tidy-up AND an additional kitchen because apparently one kitchen simply cannot contain all that culinary genius. 😂
🪵 We rearranged the stumps around the stage to create more audience seating for those very important performances.
🖍️ Chalk now has waterproof storage containers AND erasers, because soggy chalk is nobody’s friend.
🗑️ We picked up trash and gave the whole area some much-needed TLC.
🌸 And we even spread a little love beyond the playground by adding flowers to the school courtyard!
These may seem like little things, but together they make our Nature Playground an even more creative, inviting, and FUN place for our kids to learn and play. 💚
A huge thank you to everyone who has donated items, volunteered, cleaned, organized, planted, hauled, and helped us continue improving this incredible space. Teamwork makes the playground work! 🌿🦅
