Inverness Elementary School - Outdoor Classroom Renovation

LOCATION 5251 Valleydale Rd Birmingham, Alabama 35242 DESCRIPTION

Inverness Elementary has a small courtyard that they try to use as a different venue for the kids to help spark learning and creativity, but it needs a lot of love to make the actual match the heart of the teachers there. Due to the location it is difficult to get equipment and materials back in there, but our intention is to bury a storm leader off a down spout, install a railroad tie to act as a wall to help hold back the dirt that will need to be taken from the high-side and filled in to make the table areas flatter, and then bring in pea gravel to spread on the top to keep the kids out of the dirt. We would like to add some pavers in front of the outdoor chalk board, and some picket fencing around some AC units to keep the kids back from them. Bring your gloves, shovels, wheel barrows, rakes, hoes, broom, big drill bit, sledge hammer, etc. Morning of we will start rally at 7:45 at the top of the hill under the canopy at the main entrance to the school, listen to a short word from our pastor @ 8:00, identify leaders, and then break into groups.
