Missy Heiman Memorial Outdoor Classroom

The Missy Heiman Memorial Outdoor Classroom was officially dedicated at the end of October 2007, and students of Hyde Elementary have already been enjoying this great learning space.  Orders for personalized bricks will continue to be taken - bricks are $45 with each additional brick per donor priced at $25.  Twelve-inch square stones are also available with a donation of $500.  Additional funds raised from future brick sales will assist in maintaining the garden for years to come.  The order form can be downloaded by clicking here (Adobe Acrobat Reader required).  Mailing instructions for memorial gifts and/or brick orders are included on the form.

Thanks to all of you who have made this project become a reality...it is a wonderful tribute to Missy and a great resource for Hyde students and community!

Students eagerly respond to Christie Anderson's question: "Who likes to learn?!"

Students enter the classroom via the memorial walkway...

...and enjoy the plants, displays, and sunshine!
