What is my money going towards?
All money raised will be going towards adding seating and shade to the playground. We are waiting on a final approval of the space before we can break ground!
We are also working on building an outdoor classroom! This is something the teachers have been asking for for a long time! It is a concurrent project with the playground, so you should see some progress in both areas this spring! The outdoor classroom will be housed on the back of the baseball field. Teachers will be able to sign up for a slot to take their classes outside and teach a class in the sunshine.
