With Round One of interior renovations completed, we are delighted to share with you our plans for Round Two, creating ISW Magic on the grounds of our new campus! Our vision is an exterior campus that reflects the joy that students experience inside the building every day. We will be creating beautiful outdoor spaces where our students can enjoy the natural world while developing their imaginations.

 

We envision:

  • A new play ground, open to all K12 students. Elements include a giant pirate ship, an outdoor stage with seating, an in-ground chess board and hopscotch, three house frames, three wooden cars, an A-Frame, and balance equipment. The new playground will feature privacy fencing across the back and far side and picket fencing across the front and road side.
  • A new roof on the pavilion with some fun elements under that roof.
  • An updated Middle/High School patio, with shaded seating and new play options. 
  • Fencing for the fields.
  • An update to the Baseball Diamond.
  • Much-needed weather-proofing for the Garage.
We are delighted to announce that the pirate ship has already been donated by an ISW family. These amazing folks have made several elements of the project possible, and now we ask that you consider making a donation to ISW’s Building Fund in support of this vision.

All donations, small and large, are gratefully welcomed. We also know from experience that ISW’s families and friends often like to give to very specific elements. There are many opportunities to be part of this exciting project! Naming rights include:
