Pinecone bird feeders High School East photo 1

Jan. 9, 2025- Since its grand opening at the beginning of the school year, the Raider Retreat outdoor space has been a popular spot for teachers to host classes and get students outside for hands-on learning.

That was certainly the case today, when Rachel Barry's life skills class used it to create something truly for the birds ... in a good way.

"We spent an hour making pinecone bird feeders today, and afterward Mr. Polhemus and his class came out and helped us hang them," Barry said. "We thoroughly enjoyed the space and the experience!"
