The playground project is on hold until the bond issue is decided.  It’s possible the school will put a new gym building in the playground area.  UPDATE:  Patti will follow up with Mr. Norman for the October meeting.  If the school doesn’t want any improvements made to the playground the PTO will decide how to spend the money allocated for this project.
