A major component of the ongoing Capital Project is a new Adaptive Playground which is now open at the Hoover Complex. This facility is specially designed to be a safe and inclusive place of play for children of all abilities. Not only has it provided a great option for classes at the Hoover Complex, but all families are able to use this space after school and on weekends. This was an incredible addition to our community and I wish to recognize some of those who worked hard to pave the way for our new Adaptive Playground:
- Nicole Morasco, Assistant Superintendent for Finance
- Tim Ames, Director of Facilities
- Brett Banker, Director of Health, Recreation, Physical Education and Athletics
- Michael Muscarella, Director of Elementary Education
- Michael Huff, Hoover Elementary Principal
- Danielle Frye, Hoover Elementary Assistant Principal
- Adaptive Physical Education Teachers Joe Bennett, Kate Bennett and Sara Ark
- Special Education Teacher Michelle Phillips-Morella
- From our architectural partner, CPL: Anne Dafchik, Brian Trott, Kyle Drummer, Norm Gardner and Brittany Nowicki
- From Campus Construction: John Robinson and Nicolas Humphrey
- Dawn Stinner, President of the Special Education Parent/Teacher Organization
- Playground Design Consultant Linda Culliton
To all of these individuals, and to everyone else who helped promote and support the Capital Project, thank you for making our new Adaptive Playground possible. Every child deserves to have access to a place where they can play, have fun and interact with other children and that’s what our new Adaptive Playground is all about.
