Depave Chicago TMSOE!

A New Green Schoolyard is coming to TMSOE! - Montessori School of Englewood is working with Depave Chicago and Depave (Portland) to transform our asphalt playlot into a child-centered, nature-based, and community-supportive space. Between Spring 2023 through 2025, we worked together to set the vision for the design, developed the tecnical drawings, and gained approval for implementation. Now we're actively fundraising for a 2026 implementation. And WE NEED YOUR HELP to support the construction and purchasing of materials for new gardens, trees, gathering spaces, seating, nature-play spaces, and a butterfly habitat garden! Please consider giving to this exciting and transformative new ecological and educational green schoolyard for TMSOE! Our project will also be the site of the first ever DEPAVING SUMMIT - stay tuned for this groundbreaking gathering!
