Lansdowne, PA – November 20, 2023

Amidst a vibrant atmosphere of community spirit and enthusiasm, the William Penn School District (WPSD) officially launched its Community Capital Campaign on Thursday, November 16, 2023. The campaign launch followed the momentous ribbon-cutting and re-naming ceremony of the Rap Curry Athletic Complex Kerr Field, a testament to the district’s unwavering commitment to fostering a well-rounded educational experience for its students.

The Campaign, established in 2023, is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at securing the necessary funds to bring to life the district’s ambitious 10-Year Facilities Master Plan. This comprehensive plan envisions a future where every student within the district has access to state-of-the-art learning facilities that nurture their academic growth and prepare them for success beyond the classroom.

At the heart of the master plan lies a three-pronged approach that prioritizes the improvement of existing building infrastructure, the alleviation of overcrowding in school buildings, and the creation of innovative 21st-century learning spaces. These enhancements will not only transform the physical environment of WPSD schools but also foster a dynamic and stimulating learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of its students.

The Campaign seeks to raise a significant sum of money to support the implementation of the Master Plan. The funds raised will be allocated strategically to address critical infrastructure needs, expand learning spaces, and equip classrooms with cutting-edge technology. By investing in these crucial areas, the district will ensure that its students have access to the resources they need to excel academically and thrive in an increasingly competitive world.

The launch of the Community Capital Campaign marks a pivotal moment in the history of the William Penn School District, signaling a collective commitment to providing every student with the best possible educational opportunities. The campaign’s success hinges on the unwavering support of the WPSD community, including parents, alumni, businesses, and civic organizations. By uniting together, the community can empower the district to achieve its ambitious vision and create a future where every student has the tools and environment to reach their full potential.

As the district embarks on this transformative journey, it invites all members of the community to join in its collective endeavor to enhance educational facilities and empower students to become the future leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow. Together, we can transform the WPSD into a beacon of excellence, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to shine.
