We are excited to announce the construction of the North Haven Learning Grounds. After more than a year of fundraising, meeting, coordinating with landscape designers, and considering forward planning, our project has been approved.
The North Haven Learning Grounds is a schoolyard naturalization project located at the heart of our community. The project will be a gathering space for North Haven students and families, generating collaborative and equitable environments for our diverse community population. It will instill pride in students, parents, grandparents and future North Haven students. It will provide learning opportunities, rich opportunities for active living, and develop a sense of belonging as “Part of the Pack”, which is the school motto chosen by students in 2021. The project is located at a main entryway to North Haven Community with high visibility to passers-by. The location is accessible to students during outdoor breaks and learning opportunities and to community members during evening and weekend walks. The North Haven Learning Grounds has already connected to the school community through curriculum links including design creation by Grade 4-6 students and voting on student designs by the student body. The first stage of the project was completed last year in June with repairing raised beds at the school entryway, generating awareness and excitement for the Learning Grounds, particularly after receipt of the LSF Action Fund Grant ($400) used to purchase soil placed by students in mid-June. In the coming days, you will see our beautiful new mural mounted on the North fence. This mural is part of the learning grounds project and was led by local artist Chance Bellegarde. Students and staff at North Haven school would like to extend our sincerest and heartfelt thanks to the parents who dedicated themselves to this project this year. Without you, we would not be seeing this success!
