Boundless Playground Update September 2008
The beautiful new playground is currently being utilized by our pre-school and kindergarten students. The Boundless Playground Committee is still accepting orders for bricks and donations. To obtain a brick order form, please call the PTO mailbox at 774-7577 press 9 or contact Diane Wimmer. There are also forms in the elementary school office.
The older, elementary playground is in such poor condition that it has become unsafe and is not currently usable. It will be replaced or repaired as soon as possible. We will post information as it is received.
