The Shaker Schools Foundation is pleased to share that we were awarded a $71,000 matching grant from GameTime Playground Equipment to support the purchase of a new play system for Fernway Elementary School. It will include components for
sliding, hanging, climbing, balancing, exercising, creative play and accessibility. It will be a wonderful addition for Fernway students, families and the Shaker community.
Information gathered earlier in the year at two community meetings and from the community survey provided the basis for the design of the new and improved outdoor space.
The new play structure, pictured below from two views, will be ready for the start of the 2020 school year.
There will also be an adjoining green space with hills for playing and climbing. More nature play components will be added in the green space as additional funds are raised.
Our thanks to GameTime for their generous grant support!
