🏅 Dedicated Outdoor and Indoor Athletics Spaces 🏅
Current outdoor athletic fields are off-site at a city park, often impacted by flooding. Our indoor athletics do not have dedicated spaces, resulting in hours of set up and tear down for each event. The proposed plan, creates dedicated spaces for all activities to allow students to excel without interruptions.
Learn more about the proposed plan: www.windom.k12.mn.us/page/arts-athletics-project
🎭 Dedicated Space for the Arts! 🎶
Our district currently lacks reliable, high-quality venues for performances and activities. Band and choir concerts are held in the gym, while theater productions take place in the lecture hall. A new Fine Arts Center would provide students with a space thoughtfully designed for music and theater, complete with proper acoustics and seating to enhance both performance and audience experience.
