Playground and Grass Field Project is Postponed at Lowell

Happy Valley and Larrabee Elementary have inspired the Lowell playground planning process. Your success in refurbishing your playgrounds is a model for community involvement.

The Lowell Playground Team has been meeting and planning for the past year to prepare for a similar community project. We are grateful for the incredible outpouring of support shown to us by the Happy Valley, Larrabee and larger Bellingham community. In particular, we are grateful to Ron Cowan, Mike Anderson, and other school district employees who have supported our efforts. We look forward to continuing our work with them.  

Clearly, with the current economic climate, we need to move forward carefully with such a large project. Therefore, the playground project is on hold until the spring of 2010 when students are enrolled and staff contracts are signed for Lowell. At that time, the Lowell playground project can move forward with full district and community support.
