Imagine if recess was not a highlight of a child’s day at school. Imagine if the playground at your school regularly had over 45 children but was only designed for about 20 children. Imagine if teachers had no place to sit and relax for a moment while children played. Imagine if disagreements and arguments regularly broke out because children just did not have enough engagement on the playground. Hard to imagine but that WAS the situation for North Douglas Elementary School.
God, however, imagined something very different! Thanks to some amazing generosity from Playland (a playground company in Carrollton), North Douglas Elementary School has more than doubled the size and play capacity of its playground. Not only did they add a huge new play area, they surprised the school with six new swings! It was an amazing completion to the playground landscaping project began by Crossroads and Team Jesus at the beginning of the school year. Check out the video below to see the first children to enter the new playground.
We are still needing to raise about $1500 to cover additional costs for the North Douglas project. If you would like to give, please contact Kurt Dean at 678-370-0555 or kdean@xroadschurch.net.
