Creative Grounds

The building of the original Fiske Elementary building has now been closed, but its name lives on in the old Sexton Elementary School building, which is located only a 3-minute drive apart, but on the opposite site of a dividing line. This is of symbolic importance to families because of gang presence, which has caused practical implications for safe passage to and from school.

​

The original building, although as yet unsold, has caught the eye of the Chicago Department of Planning & Development due to its proximity to the upcoming Obama Presidential Center, and would be good for offsite programming that prioritizes education in Woodlawn.
