DEERFIELD — The Deerfield Elementary School community came together before school Friday morning to celebrate the completion of the school’s entryway improvement project.

Superintendent Darius Modestow said the $340,379 project was funded by a $114,538 Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) grant, $115,000 from the town and $110,840 from the school. Work included replacing curbs, hardtop surfaces and rain gardens, as well as other drainage improvements.

He thanked the town of Deerfield for expanding the project to include the full drop-off area and parking spaces, which increases the safety and accessibility of the area.
