Every day, our big yard holds something essential. It’s where children run freely without thinking, where games begin and evolve, where friendships form and repair, where energy is released and joy is visible.

It is one of the most used—and most loved—spaces on our campus.

With our full K–8 community coming together this fall, the yard will carry even more life. More students. More movement. More moments that matter.

This summer, we have the opportunity to resurface and renew the big yard—creating a safer, more durable, and more inviting space for play, athletics, and community gathering. A surface that can hold the pace of a growing school and support students across ages and stages.

The cost of this project is $35,000. An anonymous donor has proposed a $20,000 match to our community. What this means is that for every dollar that families in our community donate, the family with match it with another dollar! $250 becomes $500 earned towards our big yard and so on! We believe our community can get us there - can you help us?

For families who feel especially connected to this need and may wish to explore supporting it at a greater level, or learning more about the vision, we welcome a conversation with our Head of School, Love Weinstock (Love@berkwood.org).
