YAY!! Our New Playground!

Thank you again to our helpers who volunteered to get the last of our mulch spread!

Playground Helpers

Thank you to our crew of helpers who unloaded and spread nearly three tons of recycled mulch today!  (UPS called to let us know they were on the way Monday after school, so we appreciate everyone who was able to come out and volunteer with so little warning!)  We do have one more ton being delivered later this week, so keep your eyes open!

Welcome Back!

We had some sleepy heads starting out the day today, but once we got moving...
We had fun!












Almost Ready!

We're awaiting the installation of our fence--then we'll be all set to play!  The rubber mulch is 100% recycled material that will last 7 to 10 years before we need to do any maintenance or add any additional mulch.  The new piece of playground equipment is also environmentally friendly.  It's made of 90% recycled plastic!  We can't wait!  Some of the staff members are especially excited about the new bench for carpool!
