The long-awaited groundbreaking ceremony for the new state-of-the-art Foster Elementary School drew a large crowd on Friday (Aug. 25). The project is expected to be ready for the 2024-2025 school year.
The event featured remarks by community leaders, school district and elected officials, and project collaborators.
Planning for the new school focused on taking advantage of the natural surroundings. Foster School is located on a 39-acre parcel of land, much of which consists of various ecosystems that will provide a rich outdoor learning experience for students.
Other features include a softball field, tennis courts, shade trees, an accessible path through the play spaces, additional parking, a community garden, expanded Pre-K and special education programs, among others.
