SDP School Profile

McCall’s school yard provides a variety of activities for the students’ recreation. The playset offers the latest in climbers, bridges, slides and bars, all in accordance with all safety and ADA codes, set atop a soft rubber surface. In addition, the entire schoolyard was recently repaved, and new, attractive tubular steel fencing was installed around the perimeter. Under the direction of the Physical Education Teacher, McCall has implemented “Socialized Recess”, which has clearly delineated areas of the yard for a variety of recreational activities such as handball, jump rope, hopscotch, 4-Square, and basketball.

McCall also has a mural courtesy of the Mural Arts Program with support from Fleisher Art Memorial. The mural, which was designed, created, and installed by the upper school students under the direction of local artist David McShane, depicts a “health and fitness” theme. The mural is in the gymnasium, which doubles as the lunchroom, and portrays a variety of children engaging in fitness and sports activities, surrounded by healthy foods. It has greatly enhanced the space and creates a constant reminder to the children of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
