Garden/Outdoor Classroom

WJHS Outdoor Classroom II
Help Keep the Garden Open for Our Students!

Under normal circumstances, volunteers are needed to oversee the outdoor classroom area. As a result of the current pandemic the outdoor classroom is currently closed. We will keep you updated when it reopens and hope you will consider volunteering your time then!

This is a very minor commitment for any parent, but would make a big difference to our student’s enjoyment of our outdoor space. For more information, please email: president@wjhspto.com

Volunteer for just 30 minutes and you will allow students to enjoy the quiet garden during recess to chat, explore or enjoy a bit of gardening. No green thumb required! Weather permitting, the garden is open Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday during Fall and Spring months.

30 Minutes is all it takes….

It’s easy to volunteer in the Outdoor Classroom:

  • Bring your lunch, a book, a friend or small child.
  • No gardening required (but if you enjoy it, you can).
  • Cancelled if it’s raining.

The students usually draw, play board games, chat or do light work in the peaceful setting. They just need someone there to chaperone and let them know what time it is.

They really need you. The garden can’t open for them without a parent there.

Questions? Observations? Inspired ideas? Just drop us an email.
