National Outdoor Classroom Day
National Outdoor Classroom Day
USM was one of three schools in Wisconsin that participated in Outdoor Classroom Day on October 6, 2016. Globally, nearly 500,000 children participated in the event, which celebrates and inspires outdoor learning and play. The event coincided with the School’s efforts to grow outdoor curriculum as part of its strategic plan, and to further encourage experiential learning throughout all divisions.
