On Wednesday, September 18, Neilson Grove Elementary School marked the opening of its new playground with a community celebration. The school's PAC fundraised for the new playground, with additional support provided through the school district's Facilities department.
At the event, students shared what they love about the new playground and thanked members of the PAC and parent community for making it a reality. This was followed up by a ribbon cutting ceremony by members of the PAC to officially open the playground.
The PAC also applied for a community celebration grant ahead of the event, and provided drinks and snacks for students, staff and families in attendance. Many thanks to the local businesses that supported the community celebration by donating raffle prizes.
