My Project

Working in our outdoor environment is a favorite activity for our students year round! The stories of playing in the mud kitchen, taking care of the plants, digging in the sandbox, and observing the chickens are ones that fill the hallways at pick-up each day.

The Arizona heat makes it tough to keep cool and have fun.

We would love to be able to provide shade around our outdoor environment to keep our students nice and cool during the times we do get outside. We know that this outdoor environment is key to our Montessori work and would love to allow our students the chance to continue to experience it while also being safe. Arizona heat is no joke, and our student's safety is our top priority! These umbrellas with bases will offer shade and protection from the sun.

We hope to continue hearing all of our outdoor environment stories at pick-up, all summer long!
