Lakeview Elementary's big dreams for former Everbrite site

Most students just learn inside a classroom but at Lakeview Elementary School in South Milwaukee, they take it to a whole new level.
“We have this large property that’s right out our windows. We can see the property from Lakeview. Perhaps we can do some dreaming and thinking about what that property is and what it could be,” said Chris Sepersky, Principal, Lakeview Elementary School.
Just a few blocks away from the school used to be the former Everbrite site.
Since its closure, the future of the land has been up in the air.
That inspired Principal Chris Sepersky to start a schoolwide urban planning project.
“How do we think about how we can help students think about making an impact on the community around them? What does it mean to actually be a citizen, to be a learner, to be thinking about who I am in this community?” said Sepersky.
He decided to reach out to the city with his idea and it immediately took off.
