Look for a note coming home Monday about Coach Green's newest project... updating the playground!!!
The current equipment and border was installed
at least 15 years ago! It has been great and sturdy, but needs updating. I plan to begin fundraising to pay for this project as I know it is going to be expensive, but I believe we can do this for our children!
This will be my first task... replacing the black border that surrounds the playground. I will make the playground area a rectangle rather than a circle and have more rocks added. Believe it or not the rocks are great for the children to play on... as long as they don't throw them :)
My goal is also to add a "beach" volleyball court between the black rim and the fence...of course if funds allow!
Another goal is to add more swings because the kids absolutely love to swing! This is where I would place them:
at the end of the last set...they blend in with the trees in this picture!
I believe these upgrades to the playground are needed and would mean more safety and fun for our students. This would still allow plenty of grassy areas for a good game of kickball which the kids are loving these days!
Please let me know if you would be willing to help work some this summer on these projects. Also, let me know if you know of any businesses that might be willing to donate to this cause! I can use all the funds I can get :)
Have a great weekend!!!
