WHAT'S NEXT?

CURtis Middle School

The middle school years are exciting and challenging.  Many healthy behaviors and habits are established in adolescence and carry over into adult years. It is crucial to help our youth develop good mental health and promote a feeling of belonging.  As we learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, schools are critical to supporting our children.  Schools not only provide an academic education, but they also provide opportunities for youth to engage in physical and social activities that can relieve stress and help protect against negative outcomes.
​
We are excited to be partnering again with the Sudbury Public Schools to enhance the outdoor space at the Curtis Middle School.  Now, more than ever, we want to support the physical and mental wellness of our middle school students.  


THANK YOU TO THE SUDBURY COMMUNITY

4 playgrounds DOne!

Since the inception of PlaySudbury in 2017, we have been bringing the story of accessible and inclusive playgrounds to our school communities.  With strong support from the entire community, Sudbury has brought 4 new playgrounds to our district - one at Haynes Elementary School, one at Noyes Elementary School, one at Nixon Elementary School, and one at Loring Elementary School.

The Need

THE PLAYGROUNDS

​​The Sudbury Public Schools elementary school playgrounds are outdated.  The surfaces are not up to Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) standards, and much of the equipment is not ADA compliant and nearing end-of-life.  In order to provide a safe, accessible play environment for our children to grow and thrive, we need to do some updating.  

                                                   LEARN MORE

​The playgrounds are a wonderful town asset.  Because of the nature of playgrounds as a place for congregating, 
exploring, and exercising, we have a unique opportunity to make these playgrounds appealing to not just students, but to a wider community of all ages.  Accessible surfaces for a student with a mobility device are also impact-friendly surfaces for an older person with knee and hip issues.  Shade and tables can not only provide respite for children at play, but can also serve as a congregation point for caregivers and an outdoor meeting place for all citizens.  All individuals and families in Sudbury will have the opportunity to benefit physically, socially, and emotionally from this project. ​

The Plan
