Ground Breaking News
on Parking Lot and Nature Center

DALLAS--Heavy machinery has taken over the vacant lot next door to White Rock North School, moving earth in preparation for much anticipated improvements.

Plans for the lot include a nature center which will feature vegetable and flower gardens for the children to work in and bird houses and benches in an observation area. To further enrich the children’s educational opportunities, the school will enlist a master gardener to provide inspiration for the design of the gardens and serve as an educational resource for curriculum and teaching.

“Our expansion offers the perfect ‘canvas’ for providing fun, new learning opportunities for our students,” said Mrs. Adams. “The nature center creates an exciting outdoor classroom where our teachers can link the nature center with other important subjects including biology and ecology.”
Plans for the improvements to the 3/4 acre plot include additional parking for teachers and parents visiting the school, which currently serves 262 children from 6 weeks through 5th grade.

Ms. Adams who said, "We had a severe need for parking to alleviate problems for our parents due to increased enrollment and to meet the needs of our neighbors. Special events and programs such as dance recitals, concerts, school plays, and field days have always been an important part of our school’s curriculum."

The improvements should be ready by summer, according to Mrs. Adams, who cited other recent improvements to the physical plant of the school including an expanded and updated playground, beautiful new murals on the walls of the lunchroom, lower level classrooms and indoor swimming pool, and resurfacing of the floor in the full-sized gym/indoor skating rink.
Even the school mascot, a horse named Ginger, is enjoying spruced up accommodations in her barn and corral.
