Our sponsors helped us raise funds for our All-Abilities playground fundraising efforts. This program helps children in Greendale schools with special needs.
A message from the Greendale School District:
The District is working on a project to expand the playground at Highland View which was recently renovated in Fall 2022. The District is working with a partner at Lee Recreation to add an adaptive piece of equipment and rubber play surfacing. We picked out the piece with help of the early childhood and special education team who expressed interest in a playground option that met sensory needs by not requiring the user to move up or down while engaging.
We are hopeful to move forward with installation in the Summer 2023 based on District funding and outside donations. The total project cost including installation and rubber surfacing will be approximately $30,000.
Recently, representatives from the Greendale Lions Club presented a check to the Greendale School District at the District office.

The Greendale Lions are pleased to help raise money for improvements to our schools.
