The are big and sturdy which is great because they are getting a lot of use with 430 kids. We used them last spring as a relay game in our Field Day Event. The kids had a blast.\r\n I do have some great news to share in our new playground effort. The city of Nashua is giving the school a significant amount of money to put towards our new playground. This money and what we have fundraised so far is allowing us to moved forward and start the building process of the new playground. We are optimistic about breaking ground in the spring.\r\n Thank you again for your generosity.
