Playground
This year Forest Pines Drive Elementary PTA's fundraising is focused on "Saving our Field". The PTA has begun to work on the track/field with the first beautification day last weekend in which they painted the track. We are working in phases to complete the field. One of the phases is providing giant outdoor building blocks to foster; creativity, communication, collaboration, problem solving, social skills and any more. There is a contest that our school can enter for a chance to win these incredible blocks. Please take a minute to enter the contest to help us win these blocks. Please make sure you Forest Pines Drive Elementary as the Organization. If the organization is entered under a different name, it will not count! If you scroll all the way to the bottom, you will see where you can enter. Thank so much for helping us fix our field!
We hope you’ll take the time to vote daily through November 30th click here to help us make our playground vision a reality.
