Charlotte Lab School: Big Day at Lab

What better way to kick off our new blog than with pictures from our new playground, which opened for business today! By all accounts, it is a big success. All of the classes had a chance to climb, spin, hop, balance, run, tumble, and even relax in the new space. Once again, we want to thank our more than 250 families and friends who made this possible. Thanks to the generosity of so many, we raised just over $130,000, and we were able to afford our complete vision, plus some necessary extras including much-needed drainage improvements, shading, and a new fence. We are moving forward with Phase 2 of the project, which includes the stage and hangout zone. We expect this phase to move fairly quickly once the engineering drawings have been approved by the county. (Fingers crossed that permit will come through soon.)

Here are some pictures from opening day!
