Forest Grove Community Auditorium (
Tonight we will be meeting to discuss and design the school yard at
Sustainability Director Stephanie Vasquez and Mark Lakeman of Communitecture Consulting will be hosting a workshop open to parents, staff, and interested community members. We will begin with student presentations of their ideas for the school yard. Mark will then present examples of work done at other schools like ours, and host a workshop where everyone can provide their own ideas and input. This is a critical piece in the design process - we want the yard to reflect our school community, and we can't do that without your participation and input.
Mark Lakeman is a very skilled and highly recommended architect, who uses his skills to advance goals of social and environmental importance. His design firm, Communitecture, has designed a number of other playgrounds and community spaces that integrate community, play, art, and learning. We are very lucky to have him working on this project with us!
Please RSVP to s.vasquez@fgcschool.org so we know how many chairs to bring!
This is your opportunity to tell us what you'd like to see in the yard behind our school. Help us build a green space for learning and play.
This event is open to the community. Hope to see you then, Stephanie
