Playground Ribbon Cutting

Congratulations to LaSalle Language Academy on the opening of their new field and playground!

We cut the ribbon along with Principal Chris Graves, CPS Network Four Chief Bill Klee, parent volunteer Paul Gustafson, and Friends of LaSalle Fundraising Chair Kaisa Auge-Katz.

A new turf field replaced the old asphalt (below, with LaSalle kids spelling out the school initials at the groundbreaking). Along with open space impact fee funds that we provided, private donors, Friends of LaSalle, and Chicago Public Schools made this project possible. Thanks to all.
