We are so very excited that the playground improvements will be
completed soon! The kids are very happy with the updates and have
enjoyed playing the last couple of weeks.
The new piece of equipment has been installed, the new boarders
have been installed, the new rubber mats are in place and one tractor
trailer load of wood carpet has already been spread. In the next few
weeks the replacement swing will be added, the yellow freestanding poles
will be removed and the additional three tractor trailer loads of wood
carpet will be delivered and spread.
Thank you all for your support of the fundraising needed to make
these changes possible! We wanted to give you an update on the money
that has been spent and will be spent over the next few years to make
sure that the playground stays safe for our students to use.
