Our playground project has really taken off! To date we have raised over $19,000 towards our $55,000 goal for our playground purchase! We are putting together sponsorship brochures for the community. If you would like some to give to family, friends or businesses, please contact the school and we will deliver them to you! Community partners will be a big part of making this dream a reality! Many community organizations have expressed their desire to help us out so we are looking forward to their support!

Here is our accessible playground design! WE LOVE IT!!! A triple slide, a curved slide, and an elbow slide! Look at that fabulous pod wall and rope climber! Did you see the two accessible ramps? I bet there will be lots of chasing up and down those ramps! Oh, and look at that accessible digger too! WHOOT WHOOT! Fun for everyone. There are so many panels on this structure. There is an accessible pilot panel, a store panel, a gear panel, a chime panel, a sign language panel, a planets panel and multiple steering wheel panels!! Under the big slides there is a door panel and a bench, providing a great playhouse area! WOW…the fun on this structure is endless! There is so much more to it too! The kids can hardly wait to actually play on this structure! What a wonderful play space for ALL CHILDREN!

Dot Mocracy Event a HUGE HIT!!
Hey Everyone!
Things are going really well with this project! The PCT students participated in a "Dot Mocracy" event where they helped design the playground. The staff and kids were excited to be a part of picking out some great components! The triple slide was definitely a huge hit as was the curved net wall. There was a lots of interest in some other equipment (i.e. climbing net and swings) so we will have to work hard to make sure we raise enough money to buy other equipment!
The Home Depot Foundation sent us $3000 for our project. Next time you are in Home Depot, tell them thank you for their support!
Pledges from the kids are coming in almost everyday. Thank you again to JB Print for the fabulous pledge forms! The kids have collected $2000 already and there is more to come!
Thank you to everyone who has been a big part of this project thus far. We look forward to giving many people the opportunity to contribute in whatever way possible.
Soon we will post our playground design, so stay tuned!
