News and events for Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood
At Namaste Charter School’s Eco Club, students are learning through nature, teamwork, and hands-on experiences 🌱♻️
From growing vegetables, flowers, and succulents to composting, recycling, cleaning up shared spaces, caring for our school environment, and upcycling old newspapers into papier-mâché projects, students are building responsibility, creativity, and connection to the world around them.
Research shows that time spent in nature can reduce stress, improve focus, and support emotional well-being — proving that some of the most meaningful learning happens outside the classroom. Learn more at https://namastecharterschool.org/
