Principal Nkaujnou Vang-Vue of Lake View Elementary School in Madison, Wisconsin, has transformed the schools five-acre campus into an outdoor learning hub, earning her the 2026 Administrator of the Year award. With the help of volunteers, staff, and grant money, she expanded the campus by one point five acres with features like climbing webs, music areas, balance courses, and a tree fort built by fifth-graders. Vang-Vues approach links classroom lessons to hands-on nature experiences, boosting problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Recent additions include a bike-riding program with forest trails and thirty donated mountain bikes from local company Trek. These efforts demonstrate the schools commitment to safe outdoor play, providing students with real skills and joy that extend beyond the classroom.
