Outdoor Learning Environment

We accomplished so much with our first ever Annual Fundraiser last year – The Providence Fund – providing an opportunity for our community to contribute in a special way. 

The joy continues this year as we develop even more aspects of the project: water feature, water garden and stage.

The Providence Fund is designed to expand and enrich the educational opportunities available to the children beyond what our tuition and regular programming can provide. Through the benevolence of parents, alumni, community partners and friends of the School who give to the Providence Fund, we will substantially increase our capacity to enrich the lives of children this year by developing our Outdoor Learning Environment (OLE).

This OLE project was initiated  by one of our students, Isabelle Bolynn, who participated in training from The Natural Learning Initiative through the North Carolina State University. Isabelle led The OLE Committee and drafted the plans for this lovely outdoor space to be created for all our students to enjoy. 

Over the past five months these plans have continued to take shape, and now we need your help to see their vision realized to the benefit of our whole student body. 

Below you will find the plans drafted by our student OLE Committee, images from our Pinterest page full of images, as well as a list of the specific high quality components we need to complete this project.

As a Providence Fund contributor you will have the option to designate funds for the exact item you would like to fully fund or contribute toward, or allow your gift to be applied to whichever project the students and staff deem as highest priority. 

We are so excited to realize the vision of our OLE Project and watch as the true power of our community makes this dream come true!

Our goal for this project is $50,000. 

We have leadership giving opportunities as follows:

$500  – Sponsorship Level 
$2,500 – Partnership Level 
$5,000 – Leadership Level

And every dollar gets us closer to our goal!  

Thank you so much for entrusting us with this special time in children’s lives and for your continued prayer and support. 

Look What We’ve Accomplished So Far!
