COURTYARD 2012
 
    Courtyard 2012 was a joint project of the VSAA PTSA and Vancouver Public
    Schools. VSAA PTSA began planning the project in January and by June 20 had
    raised roughly $65,000. A majority of funds came directly from PTSA funds,
    donations from the classes of 2009, 2012, sponsorships and fundraisers. In
    addition, the PTSA received a significant donation from our treasured patron,
    Leslie Durst. Ms. Durst’s early donation to the project helped make the eventual
    fundraising goal attainable.Brett Jones, owner of Jones Landscaping, and his
    crew completed the month-long renovation Aug. 2. The project included the
    addition of 6,000 square feet of new sod, sprinklers, 16 new trees, renovation of
    the school’s much-loved Peace Garden and construction of raised planting
    beds. A large, elevated performance platform was added and basalt seating
    columns were placed throughout the space. The basalt columns add a unique
    element to the space – many feature quotes about art and music or are dedicated
    to families.

 
    In addition to Jones Landscaping, key partners in the project are VPS,
    represented by Todd Horenstein and VSAA principal James O’Banion, Ralph
    Wilson of LSW Architects PC, Bryan Simpson of Portland Rock and Landscape
    Supply, Lenny Huiras, owner of On The Rocks Engraving, Rue Lindgren, owner
    of All Season Plants, West-Meyer Fence, Jon Christopher of Christopher’s Custom
    Concrete Inc., Portland Nursery, Yard 'n Garden Land, Shorty’s Nursery and
    Springtime Only Nursery.
