School’s Back in Session & Outdoor Learning is Beginning at North Bend Elementary!

School’s Back in Session – Outdoor Learning is Just Beginning at North Bend Elementary!

As the new school year kicks off, students and teachers at North Bend Elementary School are stepping into an exciting new chapter of learning – outdoors! The team at Xscape 2 Nature (X2N) recently completed the construction of an Outdoor Classroom, giving students the opportunity to enjoy fresh air while engaging in creative lessons. With contributions from Lehnhoff’s Supply and Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec, we’ve transformed an outdoor space into a vibrant learning environment.

A New Space for Learning

North Bend Elementary’s Outdoor Classroom is designed to encourage hands-on learning, collaboration, and connection with nature. This specially crafted space includes:

  • Durable pavers that provide a strong foundation and visually appealing layout.
  • A podium for teachers to lead classes in an open-air setting.
  • Benches that offer comfortable seating for students during lessons or group activities.
  • Landscaping to enhance the environment with natural beauty, creating a peaceful and inspiring setting for education.


Partnering with the Community

This project came to life through the support of our community partners. Lehnhoff’s Supply provided the materials, and Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec ensured the pavers were built to last while maintaining their aesthetic appeal. Together, we’ve created a space that is not only functional but also beautiful, designed to foster learning in a unique outdoor setting.
