Planning for the Corner Lot
On Wednesday, November 6th, there will be a meeting in the library at LP Brown at 5:00 PM to discuss plans for the transformation of the corner lot on the corner of 26th and French Loop Road. This property was acquired by the Olympia School District last year. We now have the opportunity to extend our outdoor learning space for our students.
The rough plan right now is to turn the space into an interactive garden space where students can learn about native plant and animal species. The Thurston Conservation District is helping to generate an initial plan and then it is up to us to execute the plan that we create together.
If you are interested in helping with this project, please come and join us on Wednesday the 6th, right before the PTO meeting.
