Outdoor Classroom Update

Thanks to all of you, we have reached our fundraising goal! Our current total is $61,005. In the next few weeks, we will be contacting all those donors who have donated $250 and above to confirm the name that they would like shown on the acknowledgement plaque.

Thank you to everyone who has donated. We had 134 families donate towards the Outdoor Classroom. This has been a remarkable feat in a very uncertain year. Although we may be keeping to our households and see less of each other, this classroom has been a true Rockridge community effort, across all grades, and from current, future and past families. Thank you so very much.
