Students waited in anticipation as Mrs. Darby and Mrs. Pigott cut the ceremonial ribbon celebrating the opening of the new playground last spring. They were able to enjoy the place for two whole days before the world was shut down with the coronavirus pandemic. 

Now students will finally be able to explore the different areas and find their new favorite playground spaces. It’s time to see that Patriot Pace funding be put to good use. 

Teachers are also looking forward to getting outside. A shaded area was installed to escape the afternoon sun, and watching the students burn off extra energy after social-distancing in a classroom most of the day is always a plus. 

The Patriot Press is already planning to take advantage of that young enthusiasm to snap playground photos those first few weeks of school. Stay tuned!
