In Crozet by Jim4 Comments

We may be a young organization, but we have been doing some great work and we have a platter full of tasty trail opportunities for the future.

…So please come out and walk with us in the Fireman’s parade this Saturday (September 18th) , even if you haven’t come out previously to work on the trails. … Your best bet is to park at Crozet Park (where the parade ends) and get someone to drop you off at Crozet Elementary. If you let me know that you are coming, I’ll happily arrange a shuttle from the Park to the School.

The Building Services Department is very fortunate to be able to combine our Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds with funds from the Albemarle County Parks and Recreation Department, which allowed us to replace three play sets this year; Agnor Hurt Elementary’s playground equipment was recently replaced at a cost of $120,000 and Scottville Elementary’s, with an additional 2 – 5 unit for their Bright Stars Program, will be completed next week at a cost of $127,000.

…There is room to expand the current Crozet Elementary play set at the rear of the main unit, and we would welcome an opportunity to work with a Committee, if external funding sources can be obtained, to expand the play area. … The play structure is a part of the playground and when used in conjunction with the other amenities at the school, such as the swings, the improved soccer field and the black top area, there should be room for all of the students to enjoy their recess period at Crozet Elementary School. … Letteri, CFM Director of Building Services Albemarle County Public Schools 2751 Hydraulic Road Charlottesville, VA 22901 PH: 434-975-9340 FX: 434-975-9341 [email protected] — — One final note regarding the previous comment about recess being only 20 minutes …
