On March II, 1993, the New City School community gathered for The Urban Campus Capital Campaign Kick-Off party.
The ambitious goal of 1.5 million dollars was announced. Campaign chairperson Sue Schlichter then told those assembled that $868,000 had been raised to date.
The campaign cabinet will continue to request funds from parents, grandparents, staff neighbors and friends as the fund raising continues through June 1993.
The plans for the nearly three acres surrounding New City School were revealed in detail.
A track and soccer field will be completed early this summer, and the current playground will be developed over the summer months in order that the entire extended campus will be completed by the first day of the 1993-1994 school year.
In addition to the track and soccer field, the new campus will include an outdoor amphitheater, science experiments, a pavilion for outdoor classrooms, and an area dedicated to the growing of a variety of plants.
The new Urban Campus will be open to the community after school hours, and Chairperson Schlichter stated, This campaign offers us a wonderful opportunity to create a remarkable contribution to our children and to our community.” In addition to the outdoor development, the historic New City School building will be central air-conditioned, and the theater will be renovated.
