"I watch as these very capable children relish their opportunity to move and to be outside on this chilly, beautiful day.I can't help but smile, as they're striding along, chatting with each other and enjoying their adventure.They are building strength and resilience, while finding joy in each other's company.The work in our class is definitely physical, but also very much a social exercise."

Lakeside School is seeking a teacher who loves the idea of playing with children outdoors, rain or shine to apply for our Lead Sprouts position! Become part of the outdoor school movement and join our team!

From our youngest to our oldest students at Lakeside School... we love the snow! Happy New Year from Black Kettle Farm!
