…a hit with the teachers AND students!
Our Horizons group was contacted by the Haakon Education Association to assist in assembling and installing a brand new playground at the elementary school. Donations were received throughout the school year, and many new pieces were ordered. Several Horizons volunteers spent a 13-hour day at the playground getting it ready in time for the start of school.

Where did you get your playground equipment from. I am on the PTO and we are looking into buying more equipment? Did you apply for any grants? If you did (apply for a grant) who did you get them from?
Thanks!

Hi Amy! The playground equipment was purchased from BYO Playground: http://www.byoplayground.com/
I believe all of the fund thus far came from individual and business donations. However, we still have several pieces we’d like. They bought and we installed as we had the money.
You can check out the fundraising website here. Jessica Wheeler of the Haakon Teacher Association would be able to answer your questions better than I. I believe there is a place on the website to click for questions and more info. Here is that site: http://www.philip.k12.sd.us/jwheeler/images/Default%20(home%20page)/Playground.htm
Hope that helps!
