Seth Boyden school has spent two decades gradually transforming its back yard into a vibrant Outdoor Learning Center.

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — After two decades of gradually transforming its back yard into a vibrant Outdoor Learning Center, Seth Boyden Elementary School in Maplewood has inaugurated the final phase of the project… an open-air classroom, bordered by an art nook, a performance area and a large habitat garden.

A grand opening ceremony was held last month to commemorate the new classroom that included guests such as Maplewood Mayor Vic DeLuca, South Orange Village President Sheena Collum and District Superintendent John Ramos.
