Nature Trail/Project Clean Up Day
Saturday, April 18th 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
At DFES we believe in learning through authentic primary resources and that it leads to social action. These areas will provide many hands-on experiences and places for learners to explore the world around them. The more involved our students are in the creation and care of these spaces the more authentic connections to their learning about the environment they will make.
DFES Families and Staff, please join us as we have many projects to complete around our school to make it a better place for our kids to learn and grow! We will continue working on our nature trail and outdoor classroom areas.
Many hands are needed! We also need tools and heavy equipment. If you are able to help us on this day, please contact Emily Perkins at eperkins@lexrich5.org so that we will know how many people we can count on and what jobs you are able to do. Plan to bring your own lunch. Water will be provided. Participating students must be accompanied by a participating adult.

We are in need of small loading equipment such as tractor with a cart, 4 wheeler with cart, or possibly a front-end loader.
