Join Ironia Elementary School’s Courtyard Habitat

 

 

One of the treasures of Ironia Elementary School is the wildlife habitat established by the PTA in the school’s courtyard in 2004.

 

The habitat was designed to enhance student education and appreciation of nature.  Each area of the habitat is a unique learning environment for the children from the Monarch Butterfly Garden to the Student Gallery Garden, from the Bird Nest Cam (where students can view activities such as eggs hatching) to the themed Container Gardens.  Each grade participates in curriculum-based activities that foster a love of nature as well as an understanding of native plants.

 

The outdoor classroom also includes a weather-proof deck and tables, a weather station and interpretive signs to guide students.

 

Please consider joining this worthwhile exciting committee.  We will keep the habitat growing and help bring hands -on outdoor programs to your children, such as Symbolic Monarch Migration, Adopt-a-Feeder, Adopt-A-Critter and more!  Once again, no experience is necessary, just a desire to help bring our children closer to nature.
