The kids of Corbett Grade School are about to dig into something exciting! This spring, Corbett students will be creating their very own Outdoor Classroom and Native Habitat in the shady upland behind the baseball diamond. The Outdoor Classroom and Native Habitat will include trails, native plants, and bench seating for an entire class! Corbett students will take the reigns in making this new space but before the kids get started, we'll be hosting a Saturday Work Party in order to get some of the heavy-duty work done. We'll need adults to help dig post holes and install benches, operate a sod-remover, lay weed fabric, and haul - with truck or tractor - piles of barkchips to the project site. The Work Party will be held April 2nd from 10:00 - 2:00. We'll be working in shifts, so if you plan to help, email dhanes@corbett.k12.or.us and sign up for your duties and shift! Hope to see you there!
