1st Photo of the New Outdoor Classroom at the Historic Campus

This Fall we will all be given the opportunity to visit the Outdoor Classroom at The Lab Schools. This is a beginning and right now The Outdoor Classroom is a still a raw scar upon the land. Stones and earth where the playground fondly known as "Pebbles" stood for years.

Much like the entire city of Chicago that surrounds it, this small place is drastically different from the  swampy marshland that was here in the days before the city.

But the nature of Nature is change. Constant, unending change.

Scars heal.
Life will spring up in this place anew.
From Empty to Full.
From Desolate to Verdant.
With rain, and sun, and time, this place will transform yet again.
We can feel connected to the land as it renews, and be changed along with it.
