Exploration Science has been hard at work building their first KMS outdoor classroom with a trail that will lead to Route 11. Currently the floor has been cleared and the Cedar logs are being placed around the perimeter for protection and privacy. This will be one of three classrooms that will be available in the KMHS woodline. Please make sure you come and visit our work!

Students utilize the gear library as they prepare for their outdoor learning journeys. Children have access to hats, gloves, socks, shoes/boots, rain/ski pants, and jackets. Items from the gear library have been donated or purchased through MEEA grants and our RREV project. All items are washed before landing in the library. Children are able to borrow and house any gear necessary in their lockers for future use. We are always accepting donations (hats and gloves) to keep our library fully stocked for students!

Have you ever seen kids voluntarily snacking on raw kale? Would you believe me if I said that these 5th grade students specifically asked to pause our All About Food lesson to do so? Magical things happen when we grow our own veggies in the KES garden!
