My Project

The playground is an important space to connect with friends, exercise, and enjoy our free time. Sometimes the playground can be uncomfortable when the weather gets too hot. With no shade or sprinklers, we often cannot use the playground when the temperature rises too high.

These materials will help us research and use our voices to help solve our playground problem and have a comfortable place to play.

We will use the printer for copies related to our project.

By advocating for our playground, we can help improve our community.
