Does anyone have experience building a Rain Garden? We have a great to design and create one on campus.
If you're interested, we can share our process with your school as well.

To piggyback off of this, has anyone built an outdoor classroom at their school? or know of anyone who has?

A local student revitalized the outdoor classroom at ARIS in Hillsborough as a part of her Gold Award project for Girl Scouts. LMK if you would like me to connect you with her, Mike Skomba
Personally, I would love an outdoor classroom space for so many reasons....and keep mentioning it to anyone who will listen.
At my HS, we have an interior courtyard that has outdoor classroom / environmental edu application. Montgomery HS has a similar (much smaller) interior courtyard where they have many plants growing.

Gwen Duralek , my gosh your reply above sounds so much like my experience in terms of what I have always wanted and my broken record of talking to people.
At the place I've been for the past 7 years or so, there isn't much space outdoors. We occupy a large city building, not exactly a "real" school building.
I have looked into joining a couple of different community gardening projects, but transportation is always an issue, and students wouldn't utilize it during the summer break.
But I grow indoor plants with students whenever I can. Sometimes we make them part of a lesson. Sometimes I just want the students to experience living things and interdependent environments. We also raise salmon from eggs and release the fingerlings every spring.

Love how you're engaging the students with growing plants and hatching fish eggs -- I think some of our science teachers do that. I'm sure that your students really are able experience in the interdependence that these activities bring. Wonderful, Donnetta Elsasser
