Our School Receives Two New Playgrounds

Since 1997, Ann and Kirk Douglas have donated playgrounds to needy schools in the Los Angeles area. Over 390 playgrounds have been donated to date. They are going to stop donating when they reach 400 playgrounds. The school has to come up with $25,000 and then the Douglas's match that amount. Less than 10% of the schools receive two playgrounds. Our school received two because it really needed them. They put one in the kinder yard and one on the main yard.

These playgrounds are probably more important to the students at our school compared to many other schools. We have about 1,100 students and most of them are not permitted to leave their apartments (they can't even play in their apartment complexes) because it is not safe for them. Can you imagine never being able to to go outside and play...I can't.
