A school playground and recess are vitally important to children for their fun and relaxation as well as for their good health and well-being.
That’s why I am so pleased to be part of a $240,000 funding effort that will bring the children at the Green Acres Elementary School in North Haven a new place to have fun. On Friday, we participated in a groundbreaking for the new playground. The new playground will replace one that has been at the school for more than 20 years.
The project is being funded entirely by donations from the Tariq Farid Foundation, Quinnipiac University, Green Acres PTA, the North Haven Education Fund and North Haven Rotary Club.
Supporting this playground improvement is a tangible way for my family and I to give back to the community that we call home.
