After 8 months of fundraising and lots of generous donations from local businesses and families, a new playground is under way at the Portsmouth Middle School.
Attached are photos of JAM Construction working on the new playground. This new space is available to the entire community but will primarily be used by the 4th & 5th grade students at recess. We now have a new asphalt playing surface; perfect for basketball, four square, and jump rope. Also new are players' benches, improved fencing, and Funnel Ball. Â Parent volunteers will soon paint on a large map of the United States as well.
The project will be complete before the students return to school on August 28.
Thanks to all of you who supported this worthwile project.
