We are thrilled to share the latest progress on our ongoing construction projects, which include new portables and a state-of-the-art playground. As you can see in the included images, things are swiftly taking shape, promising to provide modern, comfortable learning environments and much safer playgrounds and age appropriate spaces.
For our youngest students and their parents, we want to reassure you that the new playground will be ready and better than ever by the start of the school year. We understand the inconvenience caused by starting construction early, and we know our littles were concerned about losing the playground. It was necessary to ensure there are no delays in our school start and provide a safe and fun play space for our children. We appreciate your patience and are confident that the wait will be worth it.
The new playground is designed with safety and fun in mind. It features age-appropriate zones to minimize fall hazards, padded surfaces in the transitional kindergarten area, and AstroTurf with mounds instead of ladders to reduce injury risks. Gone are the days of wood chips and pea gravel; our new playground ensures a safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable play experience for all children. Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work to improve our school facilities.
Here are some renderings/pictures of what the new playground will look similar to!
All my best and be well,
John H. Belcher
