Marie Sharpe Elementary
We are incredibly lucky to have a Grounds Department that goes above and beyond for our students and staff. Their work is a wonderful example of what Collective Responsibility looks like in CCSD27.
From painting new four square games in our courtyard, to refreshing our concrete walls, delivering sand for our sandboxes and sand pits, building and providing outdoor learning opportunities like oral storytelling around a fire pit, and all the other big and small things they do to keep our building running and safe, their work helps turn our school into a place where students can learn, play, connect, and belong.
What makes their impact so special is that their work is about so much more than maintenance. Every project they take on helps create spaces where students feel excited to be, where creativity and imagination can grow, and where learning can happen both inside and outside the classroom.
The Grounds Department quietly supports schools in countless ways that often go unseen, and our school community benefits from their hard work every single day. Their care, pride, and willingness to help are a reminder that student success is built through Collective Responsibility, with everyone working together to create the best possible environment for kids.
Thank you to the SD27 Grounds Department for all that you do for Marie Sharpe Elementary and schools across the district. We appreciate you so much!
