KIPP DC has been selected by KaBOOM! for a new playground. Though most of the costs are covered through a local family foundation sponsor, we do have the responsibility of raising additional dollars to cover incremental costs associated with the build.
This playground is really important to KIPP DC for two main reasons:
1. While we have a playground for Discover Academy next to the new build site, it is built for our 3- and 4-years olds and doesn't hold the bigger 1st graders anymore. As a result, Heights' kids have to use the football field for their recess since there is no other play structure.
2. The Anacostia neighborhood where our schools are located have limited resources and virtually no safe play spaces in the community. Our local community partners, like Horton's kids, will also have access to the playground, impacting even more children in Ward 8.
All are welcome – we hope to see you there!
