Special thanks are in order for Ion Powell, Todd Powell (his dad), and scouts from BSA Troop 1945 for completing our playground project! This effort was Ion’s Eagle Scout project, and it was a major requirement needed to complete this special achievement.
As you may have noticed while driving on the campus this week, the playground now has an expertly installed wooden border filled with several inches of cushioning playground mulch. Prior to installation of the border, Ion and several of our EE students also spread a load of dirt to level the ground and alleviate flooding and standing water problems around the playground structure.
In addition to the final border and mulch, other volunteers have contributed significantly to the completion of the playground project. Mr. Chuck Venezia (Zoe & Tristan’s dad) along with Chris Walker, Michael and Jason Eaton (Elise Eaton’s sons) and several other volunteers helped with moving the play set from it’s original location and reconstructing the deteriorated and broken sections. Then Sheila Warrick (Christian, Jonathan and Caroline’s mom) singlehandedly repainted the entire structure over a period of several months.
The playground has been in the process of being relocated and refurbished for over a year. It has taken a great deal of time, energy and money to complete this project. Thank you to everyone who has contributed their time as well as all those who have contributed funds through our silent auctions and other fundraisers during the past two years. These events have provided the funding necessary to complete this effort.
