Playground Project

The school participated in a ground breaking ceremony for the renovations to the playground. Nearly $75,000 has been raised for this project. Construction will begin the day after school is dismissed for the summer. The pea gravel will be replaced with a rubber backed surface so that the playground will be accessible to all children no matter their physical challenges. Benches will be added as well as a garden space for students to explore STEM projects. The playground is used all day by our students and in the evenings and on weekends by our community. It is a gift to us all.
