Project Outcomes

The new playground equipment will provide an updated, safe, and exciting new opportunity for students. This change in the school's environment will foster more physical activity.

The Bottom Line

The Importance of a Playground

With this project, Bluefield Intermediate School has strategized success by not getting distracted by smaller things that could interrupt this big goal. They’ve also strategically saved up to be able to purchase the equipment. This playground will improve the school’s ability to provide safe physical activity outlets within their environment. Playgrounds on school campuses help foster motor skills, strength, physical activity, body awareness, creativity, and self-esteem for all their students as well as providing a space for free play which also improves their mental health!
