Isle Schools Inclusive Playground
Donation protected
We are trying to raise money to get a new playground for our school. We would appreciate it if you could help by donating, helping to tear down our current playground, or helping to build a new playground at Nyquist Elementary School in Isle, Minnesota. The Elementary Student Council has created this list of reasons we want a new playground…
- We would like to make have a playground that is wheelchair accessible and inclusive.
- The playground we have now is rundown and has cuss words written in visible places where little kids can see.
- There is a burn hole in the slide and kids are ripping their pants on it.
- If possible, we would like to get rid of the wood chips because they get everywhere.
- We would also like to have PIP (poured in place) rubber, rubber for the ground under the playground. This is expensive, so may not be in our budget, but we are hoping to add this.
- We don’t like seeing kids who can't participate because of their disabilities.
- The playground is almost 30 years old and too outdated to find new parts.
As a school district, we want to try to salvage some of the equipment in its current location and move the main playground structures down closer to the building where security lights and cameras can reach. Our goal is to start building in the summer of 2024.
- If you would like more information or would like to see draft plans and budget for the build, please visit this website: https://jhonek.wixsite.com/playground
