Just beyond the schoolhouse doors of Shiwi Ts’ana Elementary School in Zuni, New Mexico, stand tall buttes with flat tops, steep sides, and rock formations that turn a golden color as the sun dips in the sky.
It’s a breathtaking sight that more children and school staff will enjoy once an outdoor learning space is completed at the end of this summer.
“We live in a high type of desert area, but we have a lot of pretty views,” said Zuni Public Schools Director of Finance Martin Romine. “We want to get [students] out where they can enjoy nature.”
