A.D. Rundle

A.D. Rundle's garden will grow healthy vegetables, community, curriculum, outdoor experiences, working together, social skills, non-verbal communication, education around nature, and experiences in play not isolated to metal, rubber, and plastic structures. Children have little time for free play anymore, and when children do have free time, it's often spent inside in front of television or computers. School facility playgrounds are often the only outdoor activities that many young children experience, and we hope to improve that by adding more natural space to our school. We are dedicated to making this happen via volunteerism, donations, fundraising to make installation possible in spring. Other schools in the Fraser Valley have joined the 'Interactive learning Garden School' designation, with improved student and teacher behaviours, and performances. This garden at A.D. Rundle will be a central piece for education, student involvement, and a positive social space.
