OUTDOOR LEARNING SCHOOL IN CHASE A POSSIBILITY FOR 2018
P
arents behind a push to bring an Outdoor Learning School to Chase, are hoping this educational option could become a reality very soon. “Our goal is to have these doors open for September 2018 for K - 7,” said Stephanie Stumph, who volunteers as the Secretary for the Haldane Parent Advisory Council. Outdoor Learning is a program that follows the BC Curriculum, and aims to have the students spend a portion of every day outside. Haldane Elementary will remain open and run as usual. This will be an additional choice school open to all students in the district to enroll. Research shows that being outdoors increases focus and attention, and fosters greater engagement with learning, and physical activity. Stress, anger and aggression are reduced, which leads to improved
relationship skills and allows children to better cope with stress. Haldane PAC will be hosting a meeting on February 9th at 9:00 am at Chase Secondary School. This will be the first meeting to gather information, gauge interest, and prepare for a presentation to the School Board. “We have invited guest speakers from several areas of the district and hope to have a morning full of information, and questions answered,” said Stumph. She is heading up a working committee of parents to present this to the School Board. After this first information meeting there will be one more in the evening for parents that are not able to make it to the Feb. 9th meeting. The best way to stay up to date and involved is through the “Chase Outdoor Learning School” Facebook group!
