F.A. McDonald School Re-Opens In 2011

F.A. McDonal School Re-Opens In 2011
…and we couldn’t be happier.  For 29 years this vacant school has served as THE neighborhood hub for the Green Lake and North Wallingford ‘hoods:  you name it and it’s got it:  play structures, picnic tables, roller skating, basketball, a larger than life neon diagraham of the United States, kickball, dog park, a site for many movies…

Now we get to have our cake and eat it too!  F.A. McDonald School turns the lights back on and ready for kids K-5 to take ahold of the halls again in 2011.  And we still get to use our neighborhood hub for all the activities we’ve gotten used to … just on the off hours of school time.

The F.A. McDonald blogspot is a great way to get informed about the new school – see if you’re in the Seattle school boundries, or check on teacher hiring status:
