Together as a team, and met with excitement and cheers from their Manchester Township Elementary School (MTES) community, current Principal Jill Moore and retired Principal Linda Waldron came together today with Mrs. Pedroza, Mr. George, and Mrs. Healy to officially open the NEW and improved MTES playground!
Four years ago Mrs. Waldron saw the need for an improved playground area that met the needs of all MTES students and the community. The planning began and today she joined in on the official ribbon cutting, seeing their hard work, planning and vision come to life.
Students have been patiently waiting the completion of the playground as they watched it come to fruition week after week. The addition of a new surface area, swings, climbing apparatuses, musical instruments, puzzles and more provide a multifaceted outdoor learning and play experience.
It is important for children to get outside to play, explore, climb, use their imaginations, exercise and socialize during their day. After the ribbon cutting, students had the opportunity to enjoy the playground in those ways. This new playground helps to ensure an improved, safe and fun outdoor experience for all.
