Show Volume I, Issue VII The Ogden Valley News Page 11 April 1999 VALLEY ELEMENTARY PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT UPDATE Thanks to everyone for supporting our Spring Playground Fundraiser. Our sales and donations totaled $9,734.10. Of this amount, the school will receive about $5,000. This amount, combined with the money carried over from last year, plus grant money, will enable us to purchase and install one piece of equipment behind the school for the upper grades. As Valley PTA Joyce Schmittling mentioned in an earlier article, we have a master plan that will probably take a couple of years to implement. We thought we would fill the parents in on that master plan. The plan incorporates three different play areas. Each will be geared to the different ages and skills of elementary age children. The first playground area will be located behind the school. It will be designed to challenge kids in the upper grades–fourth through sixth. The second area will be an add-on to existing equipment on the east side of the school. This equipment will be built for younger children from pre-school age through the third grade. We are especially excited about the third playground area. Because of the limited play area around the school, Huntsville City is allowing the school to put some equipment in the park. The city is also going to help with site preparation and installation of the equipment. This playground will be the largest and, although primarily suited for the needs of students in the intermediate grades, it will be a great playground for all ages to enjoy. We realize this is sounding a bit redundant, but playground equipment really is expensive. Because of this, we are going to have one last fundraiser for this school year. Starting in April, the PTA will be kicking off a SPARE CHANGE DRIVE. There will be donation jars at local businesses and one outside the principal’s office at the elementary school. So bring that full bottle of pennies you have had around for years, and save those nickels, dimes and quarters to donate! Also, look for our PTA booths this summer at the Fourth of July celebration and the Harvest Balloon Festival. We are also asking for private and business donations. Thanks to all for your support. We feel that the plan we are implementing will benefit the kids at Valley Elementary and our community for generations to come. As a PTA Board, we have had many parents tell us how they wished the school had better playground facilities. Looks like we are well on our way to fulfilling that wish!
