Making the Pre-K Playground Cool (Literally)

Help me give my students adequate shade and storage for the pre-k playground.

My Project

This project will be adding a large shade structure and storage shed to our preschool playground. We currently do not have any source of reliable shade on the playground and it makes it hard for most students to play for longer than a few minutes, especially in the afternoon. Most of the time students seek refuge hiding under the slides and ask when we can go back inside. While I believe adequate shade should be a given, on our playground it currently is not. The shade poles and sails will provide some much needed shade for when our kiddos need a break from the sunny Colorado weather. Our storage shed will also allow us to better store, access, and use a variety of playground toys, bikes, etc. Outside play is a huge part of preschool and I believe these items will greatly improve the playground environment and experience for our school's youngest students.
