Let's Build A Playground!!

Mission: Through the efforts of expertly supervised community volunteers, we want to construct a safe playground at Terreton Elementary that is accessible to each child for development of motor, social, and cognitive skills through play and exploration on age-appropriate equipment.

OBJECTIVES:

*Increase the opportunity for physical activity of our children by providing adequate play equipment to accommodate the needs of our student population.

*Meet current standards for school playground equipment safety, disability accessibility, and age-appropriateness. None of these are being met with the existing hazardous, broken and inadequate equipment.

*Encourage student confidence in project management by leading them through the planning, fund-raising, and construction phases of building their playground.

*Create greater bonds between families, community members, and the school-community relationship by providing the opportunity for volunteerism at all levels of this project.
