HELP US BUILD THIS EXCITING OUTDOOR FLEX SPACE!
With your generosity, Parents’ Council would love to partner with Charlotte Latin School to create a beautiful and functional outdoor space where our students can eat, meet, play, learn and interact outdoors – their new favorite way to gather! Please consider a donation to help us fund this exciting endeavor. The school has identified an outdoor space on campus that if renovated will double, or even triple, the outdoor space for our students. In addition to giving our students a recreational place to play cornhole, spike ball or simply unwind and enjoy the fresh air with friends, the new courtyard will also have academic functionality. The natural grade of this land in front of the Middle School gave birth to the idea of an outdoor learning space and small amphitheater that can serve as an outdoor classroom. These beautiful renderings capture the essence of how the new space will provide a natural, authentic connection and extension to the main quad area that is used and beloved by so many of our Middle and Upper School students. We are excited to share more details on this project in the days and weeks ahead and are grateful for your financial support! www.charlottelatin.org/CelebrateLatin 2
