Lighthouse Team Proposes New Playground Equipment

On Wednesday, May 24, the 3rd grade lighthouse group (Amelia Johnson, Alex Trulson, and Jase Norton) went to present at Fidelity Bank to gain financial support for a playground project.  The students would like to add a spider climber to the current playground to provide additional equipment for the growing student body as well as create an appealing atmosphere. The representatives of the bank plan to take the project proposal to their marketing team and also suggested the group reach out to the Legion and the Lion's Club. The Lighthouse team also plans to ask for donations from the Janesville PTA and Booster Club as well as hosting fundraisers such as bake sales and popcorn sales. The spider climber costs about $18,000 plus an additional $2000 to get the playground ready.

Leader Mrs. Pugh states, “This is one of my favorite parts of serving in this role - providing opportunities for students to lead and watching them make their ideas and dreams for our school become a reality!” She also said the kids did an amazing job on their presentation and got to learn a little more about what happens at the bank. 

To celebrate, the group stopped at Kwik Star on the way back to school for a donut or a piece of fruit.
