Kids play on the new playground at the Funhouse
This past summer you gave a very generous contribution in support of a new playground for the Funhouse. Over the weekend 37 volunteers installed the structure and the base chips. Yesterday [Nov. 18] was the first day the space was ready for the kids to play on it. My heart melted to watch the joy and enthusiasm the children had testing the new play equipment. Look at all those monkeys!
It is such good timing because our after school program is more popular than ever (we had 60 kids participating yesterday!). The new play space is especially important because kids need time outside to move their bodies before we have them do their homework and other inside activities.
Your support made this project happen. Thank you! We so appreciate you all!
Please stop by anytime to see the equipment you helped purchase and all the happy kids at play!
