Acton Elementary School
The new Acton Elementary School is a 2-story building located adjacent to Kennemer Middle School. Indoor / outdoor learning is a prominent theme, and the school features a large outdoor learning courtyard as well as ample daylight and exterior views throughout. A central feature is a water cistern in the outdoor courtyard which collects rainwater to irrigate the school’s landscape. The cistern is connected to digital monitors located inside the building, allowing students to view rainwater collection levels and study conservation methods.
