So this is where we're starting. Once upon a time, Robson Community School had a portable. Then enrolment was lower and the classroom space was no longer needed, so the portable was sold off leaving a cement foundation and a yard that's gone unused since then.
It's a nice big space and it's a shame to just keep it fenced off. The district offered to pave it into a parking lot, but we think we can do better than that. We'd like to make this into an outdoor learning area for the students and community, with a covered area over the cement, a grassy area for sitting and learning, and hopefully gardens and a greenhouse down the road.
It's a big project, and it'll take a few years to complete, but Jane and I are in this for the long haul as we both have our oldest kids just hitting kindergarten this year.
Stage one is the covered area and fencing, so our first job is getting the foundation assessed to see what we will be able to do with it.
There's a lot to do, but we're so excited for this project. Stay tuned for more!
