YAY!! Our New Playground!

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

Today was our first official day of playing on the new playground.  We hope that Emma Blu was looking down from heaven and smiling!

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!

Emma Blu's Playground

Thank you to everyone who joined us as we dedicated our new playground in Emma Blu's memory.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of our WIPP families!  

We had a wonderful time at our program today.

Visitors!

What an exciting day!  The crew of Staples Safari came to visit WIPP today and brought lots of interesting animals.  We had a clever monkey who wrote his name and cleaned up his "desk" afterward, a beautiful cockatiel who flew down our hallway, a kinkajou with a soft feathery tail, and a prickly porcupine!  We had a wonderful time!

If you'd like to see some more of the animals from Staples Safari Zoo, you can visit the Savannah Harbor Festival of Lights through December 16th and again from December 19-January 1.  They will also be helping Wilmington Island Presbyterian Church present a Living Nativity on Tuesday, December 18th from 4:00-7:00 p.m.
