District Breaks Ground This Week On Four Learning Landscapes
Denver Public Schools will host groundbreaking ceremonies this week for Learning Landscapes at four elementary schools - Hallett (12:15 p.m. Tuesday, April 19), Cheltenham (2 p.m. Thursday, April 21), Brown (9:30 a.m. Friday, April 22) and Wyman (3 p.m. Friday, April 22).
Learning Landscapes include a playfield, age-appropriate equipment, gardens, trees, non-traditional play features, shade structures and a gateway to the neighborhoods. The objectives of the initiative include reducing discipline issues on school grounds, providing better physical education and resources for classroom projects, establishing a gathering place for neighborhood families and strengthening neighborhood-school partnerships.
These Learning Landscapes (36 in all) are funded through the $310 million general obligation bond approved by voters in November 2003.
Hallett Elementary School is located at 2950 Jasmine St.; Cheltenham Elementary School is located at 1580 Julian St.; Brown Elementary School is located at 2550 Lowell Blvd.; and Wyman Elementary School is located at 1690 Williams St.
