My Project

Preschoolers love to move and explore through gross motor play. Our wonderful playground equipment was funded through the generous donors of DonorsChoose but it is very hot and unusable in the warm temperatures of Central Illinois.

Please help shade our playground slides and equipment with this Sports Play Shade Shelter.

My students love to learn and play outdoors, but many days are too hot on our playground without shade. Preschoolers learn best through active play and exploration.

With your help, we can explore outdoors on sunny days and have it made in the shade!
