Tobin/VLUS School Project 
Community Meeting 

January 16 | 6:30-8:30PM | Tobin School Auditorium

The City of Cambridge invites you to a public meeting to discuss the Tobin Montessori and Vassal Lane Schools Project. This will be the fourth community meeting to discuss the reconstruction of the Tobin Montessori and Vassal Lane Upper School. Previous meetings included geotechnical and environmental discussions, brainstorming sessions, and presentation of conceptual design options. 

At this meeting, the City’s architect (Perkins-Eastman) and City officials will:
–Review the comments received
–Discuss the programming needs of the school community
–Discuss the traffic management plans and reviewing traffic data
–Present design revisions based on the comments received
–Review the design schedule and next steps

Community members will have an opportunity at the meeting to ask questions, provide feedback and share ideas. We encourage you to attend as we value feedback from residents and the school community.

Recess is Fun! 

At recess, children practice social skills, enjoy role playing, and develop creativity.

This is what Room 283 students say about their recess:
"It is the best time to run, and I am a very fast runner."
"I like to play with my friends, and the big structure is the best."
"I like recess because I meet my sister, and we have fun together."
"I LOVE recess!"
