The courtyard mud kitchen is a beehive of activity at recess. Remember the students always need materials to work with. As you clean up your yard and garden at home think of us. Bring any organic material, including the soil from your pots and drop it in the corner storage bins after school hours. Flower heads, leaves, small branches, bean stalks, the students will use it all. No rocks or long branches please.
Our courtyard is named in honour of Elder Wilson Bearhead who started us on our land based learning journey. Every addition and decision made to improve our green space for the students is done with the land based learning philosophy and Elder Wilson’s teachings in mind.
Year round volunteers work to maintain the existing infrastructure and plants. If you have questions about the green space or want to support this ongoing initiative contact Jennifer Dechaine at Jennifer.dechaine@hotmail.com.
Thank you for all your support in our projects to better enhance our students' learning space here at EPE.
