Today we dedicated the Grainwood Peaceful Playground at our outside September all school meeting. The weather cooperated beautifully, minus a noticeable breeze, as students and staff participated in a simple THANK YOU to staff and parent volunteers who helped make it a reality. A very special thanks to the dedicated parents who participated in the numerous painting sessions adding color to the blacktop. This was quite an undertaking and would not have been completed this fall without your help!
To support the Peaceful Playground activities, Mr. Larson also has taken time out of his Physical Education classes this September to explicitely teach some of the games. Having recently started our PBIS initiative (previous blog post), our implementation of the Peaceful Playground is timely and will help Grainwood stretch its C.A.R.E.S. theme throughout recess too.
