Did you know?

53rd Street School is in the middle of a Green Schools playground redevelopment program! We have spent the last year and a half working on redesigning our current playground with greener infrastructure and less asphalt. We are just beginning our fundraising phase, so be looking out for opportunities on how to make a financial contribution and to spread the word!

53rd Street School is in the 9th Cohort of Milwaukee Public Schools entering the Schoolyard Redevelopment Program, expected to be completed in 2027.
