Your school, your ideas
How could the new Grant be a better community asset?
As dreaming for the future Grant Center for the Expressive Arts continues, the design committee wants to make the new school a better asset, not just for Grant families, but also for neighbors and community organizations.
Some ideas that committee members have put forward that focus on greater community benefit include:
- A teaching kitchen space near the garden
- A sensory play area that is accessible by the community
- Space for community dance and theater offerings
- Greenspace that could serve as an after-hours park or community garden
- Outdoor space to display community event signage
- Spaces for backpack and supply giveaways
- Space for a community hub
- Partnerships with Metro Parks, YMCA, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma Little Theater and Tacoma Musical Playhouse, among others.
Strengthening relationships between our schools and our communities helps foster a safe and secure learning environment with fewer strangers, and more friends.
