District Information Animals Teacher Center
Kyle elementary is a unique structure with several areas enclosed from the public. These areas have been  under-utilized and in some cases unattractive.  Our goal is to take advantage of these areas by making them aesthetically pleasing as well as educationally functional. Our project consists of several phases. Phase 1, the courtyard area was completed by parents, students and staff in May of 2008. Phase 2, the aviary/chicken coop was completed in August of 2008. Phase 3, the vegetable garden area is in progress. Our last phase of the initial scope of the project is the area next to the Kimbro building and has recently received funding. Development will be during the spring of 1009
