Edmond, OK Middle School Receives Outdoor Classroom Grant

Cheyenne Middle School, (part of the Edmond School District), recently received a grant for $5,000 from the National Education Association.  This grant will help fund an outdoor Exploratorium.  The Exploratorium will enhance the learning experience for students by giving them hands on experience with long-term experiments.  The Exploratorium will consist of a greenhouse, alluvial stream beds, raised gardens, and a compost bin, as well as many other key features. 

Outside of the grant from the NEA, this project could not happen without the support of the community as well as the parents.  Donations have been received from Lowes, McGuire's Plumbing, Edmond Rock and many other groups.  Edmond Public Schools continue to support innovative thinking and high levels of learning.
