"Allenstown Elementary School is seeking funds to help finish our outdoor classroom space (i.e. including a supply storage shed, an outdoor sink area/water fountain, and a shaded classroom structure with benches). We have been collecting donations from local businesses for this project for over a year.

Research indicates that outdoor classrooms offer many benefits.  Children show decreased levels of anxiety, social/emotional behaviors, and impulsiveness.  You can view the top ten reasons to have an outdoor classroom at:

We have a quote for a shade sail covering for $3,800.  We need to raise the money before the end of June.  Can you help us?  Perhaps you can donate a little.  Or maybe you can talk to your place of employment about helping us.  Every amount will help us get closer to our goal!  Thank you for supporting learning at AES!"
