Neighborhood school

This is a neighborhood grade school.  We walk by it frequently.  It looks so much more inviting than my grade school (which had a lot of asphalt, a parking lot, playground equipment, maybe a sandy ball area)  I don't remember any plants at my grade school.

This Portland grade school has gardens and chickens, interesting play areas and nice plants!  Here is a link to a newspaper story about the kids working in the local park.

Below is the grade school I went to and this is how I remember it looking even then.
