Teacher’s Report (Mrs. Li and Ms. Sheikh, 11/08/2021):
Funding ideas for outdoor learning spaces at ABES:
Smaller proposal: ordering some permanent fixtures and outdoor furniture directly and place them in area where we see a fit.
Larger proposal: outdoor classrooms designed by Kompan. This requires quotes and may take longer. Ms. Sheihk will contact the vendor and find out the price and timeline.
