What will the funds raised be used for? Playground Improvements! All funds raised will go toward enhancing our outdoor play spaces this summer. Our playground climber will be staying, but we plan to add additional equipment and activities to replace the current kitchen area with something more functional and developmentally engaging (that will help prevent mulch from being dug up and poured into the play sink). We’re excited to create an improved space that supports creativity, problem-solving, and active play for all of our students.
