Go Fund Me for Outdoor Classroom

Please help us create more much needed outdoor learning space for the children at STARS.
It is our goal to invest in additional picnic tables and shade sails to create an outdoor classroom and lunch area. Especially during these unprecedented times, it is crucial, to give our children the opportunity to catch some fresh air.
Our plan is to purchase the following:
– 4 steel picnic tables (~$700 per table plus shipping)
– 2 shade sails (~$100 per sail)
– mounting hardware/poles; concrete (~$300)We would like to set up the outdoor classroom as soon as possible so that we can get the kids outside.

Any additional funds we raise will be used to purchase more picnic tables, an outdoor chalk-/or whiteboard and to set up a second outdoor classroom next to the new building after all construction is complete.
