My Project

Currently, our outdoor play area is very minimal. We have a set of students that love to be outdoors and currently our swing set is not the sturdiest. This will allow them to have a swing set that can be placed in the ground and be secured!

Please help my special education classroom gain a wonderful outdoor play area!

Through other sources they will be gaining an amazing sensory area and hopefully, a climbing dome. We are also hoping to set up in the future a sand box that is full of kinetic sand to help them build and create new designs in this sand!
