NRCA recently received notice that the new Arlington Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Pat Murphy, will come to Wilson School this Thursday at 7-9 PM to engage with Rosslyn residents about APS services and issues.

Wilson School and playfield remain a crippled and development endangered facility. This ‘chat’ would be an ideal time to remind Dr. Murphy about the community need and desire for play space and a permanent primary education facility at the Wilson School.

Talking points might be:

- Many public minded groups including Arlington’s Historical Preservation Commission, Arlington’s Park Comission, Friends of Arlington Parks, and the Arlington County Civic Federation, have spoken out about Wilson School and playfield as being the recreational and educational heart of the Rosslyn community.

- Absent the Wilson playfields this community has no nearby playfield. A community where children cannot play is child-hostile.

- Every time (yes every time) APS has alienated a property, it comes to regret that loss. Wilson School is a wonderful central urban location. Don’t develop it into office and commercial space.

I’m out of town but I request and encourage that persons who wish to Save the Wilson School will attend this ‘chat.’ Kindly note the RSVP information on the incoming:

RSVP: APS Community Outreach Specialist Dawn Willard at 703-228-2581 or dwillard@arlington.k12.va.us

Vice President North Rosslyn Civic Association
