Welcome to Mr. B's Backyard Classroom!
Mr. Guy Buckelew dedicated 14 years to the youth of Galloway Township. Teaching sixth grade at Reeds Road Elementary School, he instilled a sense of environmental awareness to his students. He attempted to bring the outdoors in and instructed utilizing these natural elements.
Through Mr. B’s Backyard Classroom, our retention pond has been transformed into an arena to provide hands-on activities to develop an essential understanding of local ecological concepts. The Galloway Township Middle School (GTMS), Reeds Road Elementary School, and Roland Roger’s Elementary School staff members have formed collaborative partnerships with each other, as well as local and state environmental agencies. The importance of living a “Green” lifestyle and the promotion of conserving Galloway’s ecosystems is expanding utilizing our own school grounds.
Mr. B’s Backyard Classroom was established during the 2010-2011 school year. Mr. B’s Backyard Classroom supplements the everyday classroom learning with chances to take “class trips” to an aquatic oasis.
