School’s New Equipment Is Child’s Play
Parents, faculty and pupils at Ascension Lutheran School held a dedication ceremony Tuesday for a $17,000 playground, which Principal Mary Kantola called a “visual statement of parent support.â€
Funding for the playground equipment was raised last November at the private school’s annual dinner-auction, where 178 items donated by parents and businesses were sold.
Ronald McFaden, a member of PALS (Parents of Ascension Lutheran Students), said that as many as 35 volunteers helped assemble and install the equipment over four days last week.
The playground includes hand rings, climbing bars, a tube slide and a “Bigfoot†slide, which consists of three slides.
