What alternative community play spaces have been arranged for the duration of construction?
Thanks to the hard work and perseverance of several community members, we will have access to Fort Reno during spring 2010 mornings (permits could not yet be provided beyond that time but will be pursued) and the Georgetown Day School gardens. St. Ann’s has also agreed to accommodate our PreK and K students through shared use of their playground and big wheels. We continue to work in a positive direction with the Yuma center to provide use to their vacant lot (until their own construction project begins in September) and with American University for the use of their athletic fields just off Yuma Street. The closer locations will likely be used for recess and gym periods, while those at a greater distance will be used for school celebrations, field days, and class field trips. Classes will also be free to use the green space at the front of the school. Off-campus visits will require parent permission and will benefit from additional adult supervision.
