To date, much of the planning and effort for the rebuilding of Fernway Elementary has focused on the inside of the school. Now, it's time to plan and envision the outdoor space at Fernway.

Shaker Heights Schools and the Shaker Schools Foundation are excited to announce that a lead gift from the Steven and Gail Goldfarb Family Fund established with the Foundation has energized the Fernway Forward campaign, bringing the total raised to date to $220,000! The Goldfarb's generous gift, in combination with community fundraising, will allow us to move forward with the implementation of an enhanced outdoor play and learning environment.
