The new recreational area at the George W. Julian School 57 is in honor of Hannah Crutchfield who died in September 2021.
The new recreational area at the George W. Julian school 57 is in honor of Hannah Crutchfield — a young girl taken from this east side community way too soon.“She always had a bright personality and when [we were] in a bad mood she would just put a smile on our face. She made everybody feel happy inside, even when they felt really down," Samantha said.While she was walking home from school, a car hit her in a crosswalk.
Organizers say this would not have been possible without the support of the entire neighborhood of Irvington, more than 750 individual donors and many more. The playground committee partnered with the IPS Foundation and the school’s PTSA to help raise more than $200,000 for the project. “A place of community and a place where you can come together. She liked to play with her friends. She liked to lead her friends in games and so creating a space that allows that to happen with other students is what I hope the legacy is,” Co-chair Michelle Pleasant said.“She would’ve loved it.”
Organizers say their hope is to create a welcoming space for all local families, whether their children attend George Julian or not.
