This September, students at Killarney Elementary School will be able to learn outdoors. During the last three years, you may have noticed some landscaping occurring along the west side of the school. The Legacy Project at the school was built to honour Maria Montessori: “When children come into nature, they reveal their strength.”
Many parents and students at the school are residents of our community and KGCA was happy to support this community green space enhancement project. The funds from KGCA helped ensure the Outdoor Learning Commons could purchase troughs, permaculture supplies, and native plants.
