Students have been engaged in the planning of the project through both classroom-based learning and hands-on experiential activities. Students have studied the qualities of various building materials, explored biodiversity and ecosystems by visiting other community green spaces, and constructed model park features using recycled materials. Engagement will continue over the coming year. Students will research, select, and plant a class tree. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to vote on equipment colors. These activities foster critical thinking, decision-making, and pride while ensuring the revitalized park reflects the school community’s needs, values, and imagination..
