Before school ended for the year, the 200 Danbury students who make up the eighth-grade class at Westside Middle School Academy officially unveiled their outdoor classroom, complete with hand-built benches and a "global peace" mosaic. A grant from the Audubon Society helped with planning for the project, which began in November. An “outdoor habitat” for migrating birds can also be used as a classroom for up to 25 students to solve problems, identify needs and provide services.
