Outdoor Classroom Fall Workday

Coordinator:

Timeframe: Saturday, November 6th 9am - 4pm

Join other families for your grade level at the allotted time, or come when you can:
• 9-10 am – general volunteers
• 10-11 am – Pre-K & Kinder
• 11-12 pm – 1st & 2nd
• 12- 1 pm – 3rd
• 1-2 pm – 4th
• 2-3 – 5th
• 3-4 – general volunteers

There will be plenty of work for everyone, and we are trying to get this first and most important step done in one day to allow our children to begin using the space for planting as soon as possible.

Several cubic yards of fertile soil will be delivered on Friday, so we will need the following for the Saturday workday:

1. Flat bed trailers (and trucks to pull them) for the hauling off of the "bad" soil
2. Lawn tools, including rakes, shovels, hoes, breaker bars, and wheelbarrows
3. Corrugated cardboard (shipping and packing boxes) to be used as a weed barrier underneath the new soil
4. Volunteers, volunteers, and more volunteers to remove the bad soil, lay the cardboard, and distribute the new soil
5. More volunteers to "man" the water and lemonade distribution for all those who get thirsty
6. Strong volunteers that can use the breaker bars to get rid of the stubborn rocks and soil

We are also going to need a place to move (dump) the "bad" soil. If you have a place or know of someone who needs filler soil this would be a perfect use for what we will be removing.

If you can volunteer for any of the allotted times or can fulfill any of the needs listed above, please visit the Volunteer Spot sign-up page.
