Johnson Elementary Students Recommend Improvements to Council
Third and fourth grade students from Johnson Elementary School presented their recommendations to improve the Johnson School attendance zone to City Councilors and Planning Commissioners on Wednesday, December 14 in the City Council chambers.
The presentation marks the culmination of a partnership between students and faculty from the University of Virginia School of Architecture and the Johnson Quest program. Working together, students researched the neighborhoods surrounding the school and looked for necessary improvements in the areas of transportation, safety, housing, green spaces and services. The students also created displays of their neighborhood photographs to be exhibited at City Hall.
