NEW HARPER PLAYGROUND
We are thrilled to share that the PTO will begin fundraising for a new 1st - 4th grade playground at Harper School! Our current playground, which has served our students well for over 20 years, is in need of an update, and we are excited to create a safe, engaging, and inclusive space for all students to enjoy.
Our vision for the new playground is built on four key priorities:
-
Inclusivity – The proposed equipment will cater to a diverse range of student abilities and needs, allowing all children to play together. We are committed to incorporating ADA-accessible and inclusive play structures that ensure every Harper Dolphin has the opportunity to participate. -
Imaginative Play – We want our students to be engaged in creative, active play for extended periods. The new equipment will inspire exploration, storytelling, and adventure.
-
Sustainability – We have carefully considered how to replace and diversify our playground equipment to ensure it meets the needs of current and future Harper students for years to come.
-
Fitness & Movement – Keeping kids active is a top priority! The new design will feature equipment that encourages climbing, balancing, and physical activity, promoting a fun and healthy lifestyle.
Additionally, the PTO is looking to form a team of volunteers that will help strategize, plan and execute fundraising events to help us reach our playground goals! If you or a team of friends are interested, please reach out to Allison Achter at ptopresidentelect@harperpto.
