Check out the design ideas for the new Grant
The Grant Center for the Expressive Arts Replacement Project has reached schematic design stage. This is when McGranahan Architects puts forth design concepts from their work with the Grant Design Advisory Committee (a team of Grant teachers, administrators and parents) and gets feedback from various interested parties to refine the design and ensure the eventual finalized design meets budget, scope and vision needs, as well as the real-life needs of the community.

More details are available on the project webpage, or chat with the architects and TPS representatives at one of the following information opportunities:

- May 31, 6-9 p.m.: Presentation at the PTA meeting in the Café at Grant (open to the public).
- June 6: Architects will be at the Grant Student Showcase event to share the design with students and families.
- June 13, 3:45 p.m.: All-staff presentation
- June 15: Meetings with staff representatives (tentative)

As additional information opportunities are scheduled, we will post updates on the project webpage at www.BuildingForAchievement.com, as well as send announcements via this email newsletter.


A Vision for the Elementary Learning Environment

This vision includes rethinking the roles of community, safety and security, inspiration, building lifelong habits, connecting with the environment and so much more. It's about making learning right-sized and flexible, about connecting our kids with ideas.
