Aaron Dudley and I applied for money from the Ministry for new playground structures.
We were picked in the lottery, and were awarded $19,487 (no matching grant required). Aaron priced out replacing the tire swings and getting new basketball hoops, to make a pair on the north side of the school - this grant will cover both. We will be getting structures that can be moved, so that whatever happens with seismic, the structures can be kept.
