TENNIS COURT RENOVATION – Friends of Hamilton ISD pledges $55,000 toward the renovations of the old tennis courts this year. The two tennis courts behind the current Ann Whitney Elementary playground are being cleaned and prepped for a layer of padding and turf. Once renovated, the facility will provide a place for recess, PE classes, outdoor classroom setting, award ceremonies and community use, like sports practices, and ceremonies. The turf can be lined in several different ways, such as soccer or football field, 4 square or hopscotch. The walls of the court can be equipped with other interactive activities for students including a rock-climbing wall. Ann Whitney Elementary Principal James Slone cleaned the wall and the old rock gym as well.
