[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drove by murch today. I noticed an enormous parking lot and an even more enormous athletic field. One of the largest I have ever seen for an elementary school.

While I understand that murch families see this as a fundraising issue and murch getting more funding, can we at least acknowledge that from the outside, this is not a school that looks like it is lacking for space to expand?

Apologies if I missed something. Does the athletic field belong to someone else? [/quote]

You have not seen a lot of elementary schools in this area (except for Eaton). Anyway, both the soccer field and the parking will disappear under the new wing of the school.  The school will be left with the hill (which belongs to the Park, not DCPS) and the area where the playground is now.  apparently under the new proposal even part of the playground will go because it will become a parking lot.  Please consider that there are almost 650 kids who play there daily, and many after school and during the weekend. We have been going there since our oldest was 1 year old, well before we became Murch parents.  [/quote]
