What would you do with the $25,000?

I would go on a retreat to be rejuvenated over the summer. I want to design and fund outdoor classrooms or gardens that promote hands-on learning experiences in nature, encouraging environmental stewardship and creativity. Invest in upgrading classroom technology, such as interactive whiteboards, projectors, or software that enhances learning and engagement.Organize educational field trips that expose students to real-world experiences related to their curriculum, broadening their understanding!
