Playground Renovation Update

Westwood families, we wanted to give you an update on our playground renovation!

Phase 1: The field has been leveled, extended, and seeded. Grass is taking root and is expected to be fully established by April.

Phase 2: New, ADA-approved playground equipment will be installed in early June, including new play structures, a covered basketball court, turf play areas, and more. Installation is timed to avoid extended indoor recess for students.

Fundraisers: Several fundraisers are coming this spring to support Phase 2,. Details coming soon!

Thank you for supporting our school community! ❤️🐾
