The Faculty and Staff of Tamarack Elementary will be dedicating a memorial area as part of our growing Outdoor Classroom. This area was partially funded by donations made following the passing of Nancy McFarland. A group of retired teachers wanted to give something to the school in her memory – and from that generosity – this idea bloomed! Teachers who have passed away are remembered in this special area with name markers and a plaque which reads:
Nature’s Theatre
“Dedicated by our retired teachers, to the memory and honor of those teachers who shared their natural love for teaching and learning with the family of Tamarack Elementary School”
