A very important part of a child's education is to learn to play with others, to take turns, to have fun! Being outside and climbing and sliding is great to revitalize the kids! Is there really anything wrong with taking a break from working hard and just swinging? I'd love to have my grandchildren be able to do all that on fun, safe equipment!

It is very sad to walk in back of the school now and see nothing but the old tubes that the kids used to crawl through, the dumpster out back is filled with the last little bits of the play structure. Please help us win this playground for the childrens sake:)

The currect playground has such potentail, a soccer field, a baseball diamond, a play structure, the options are only limited by money and peoples commitment

This school could certainly use a new playground and one that is modern and kid-safe.
