School Forest Day Chair Trisha Mulligan looks forward to the eighth annual School Forest Day, which will be held in the Garrison School Forest on Thursday, May 5 and Friday, May 6, 2016. "I love it so, so much," Mulligan said. This year, School Forest Day encompasses two days of outdoor educational programming. Each grade will spend one day in the School Forest.
Sarah Wallis plays the role of a woodland fairy at School Forest Day, 2013.
"I've talked with the Student Government representatives to explore what they liked and didn't like about past School Forest Days," Mulligan said. "They like building fairy houses, shelter building, sensing the forest while blindfolded, team building activities, the scavenger hunt, and orienteering."
Mulligan and Principal John Griffiths hope to recruit several parent volunteers to assist with planning School Forest Day, and to work as coordinators on the day of the event. Each grade level will engage in different activities at various locations within the School Forest. So, teachers will need the assistance of parents.
The Eco-Moms group dreamed up School Forest Day in 2008, and produced the first event in 2009.
