It was an unseasonably warm stretch of days for early November in Toledo. And it couldn’t have come at a better time.
Contractors from DWA Recreation were able to quickly remove damaged equipment and install a new bay of swings. Their work included installing a mulch-filled border and a ramp for wheelchair accessibility.
As we expected, this area of the playground has become the new hotspot for students. They’ve taken advantage of temps in the 50s and 60s and are swinging away. The smiles are here!
So many gave to make this project happen.
Students, staff, board members, and friends of AMS gave over $14,000, including a $5,000 matching gift from Dr. Gwen Johnson, co-founder of Accelerated Learning Academy in Las Vegas.
The Toledo Mud Hen’s gave $3,000 through their Helping Hens Fund–administered by the Greater Toledo Community Foundation–, Wingstop Charities contributed $5,000, and SnowFreaks donated $1,000.
Everyone who gave has played a role in bringing back the smiles.
Shine on!
