Wildcat Way
Outdoor Classroom
Wildcat Way is officially open!
The space came alive exactly how we imagined—through the joy, curiosity, and energy of our students.
We made wildflower seed bombs.
We filled pages in our outdoor journals.
We ran, explored, and discovered every corner.
And of course—pizza and popsicles to top it all off
This space was built for moments like these—hands in the dirt, learning in motion, and a community coming together to create something lasting.
​
Wildcat Way is more than a classroom—it’s a place to grow, reflect, and belong!
A tremendous thank you to our partners - Nature Sacred, EnviroCollab, Hyattsville CDC, PGCPS
