Shade for the Playgrounds!

We have some exciting news! If you've been keeping tabs on the PTA's projects during the 2022/23 school year, you know we've been tirelessly dedicated to one main initiative: procuring shade structures for Wiley's two school playgrounds.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce: we did it!

Thanks to the immense dedication of our community, we have successfully raised enough funds to install a cantilever shade in each of our two playgrounds. This will give our students and teachers relief from the sun.

In addition to the cantilever shade, we will also be installing a new bench for the lower playground. This will provide a comfortable spot for students to relax, teachers to supervise, and maybe even for a bit of outdoor learning!

Our trusted partners, Carolina Parks and Play, who brilliantly installed Wiley's playgrounds in the past, will be returning to install the shades. We have scheduled the installations to be completed by June 30. Just in time for the heat of summer, and perfectly timed to provide comfort and relief for our teachers and students in the upcoming 23/24 school year.

These shades would not have been possible without the generous support of our families, friends, and our Forest Park neighbors. We are immensely grateful for your support!
