Founded in 1965, Dallas Academy School is the oldest school in Texas to work exclusively with students with learning differences. This summer, they receive an upgrade.
A fundraiser facilitated by Head of School Elizabeth Murski raised $250,000 towards the creation of a new sensory playground at Dallas Academy. It will feature a new ground covering, shade structure and all new playground equipment including a special sensory wall.
“We are thrilled about the new state-of-the-art playground and looking forward to having a new fun area where our students can run around and play,” says Jesuit and Ursuline alum Murski. “Thanks to the fundraising efforts by high school friends, our students will soon have a safe, shaded and engaging outdoor space to explore.”
Construction on the playground is expected to begin this summer to be completed in time for the fall school year. When completed, students and staff will participate in a naming contest for the playground, with the winning name displayed at its entrance.
