Parents Purport Paint Job Creates Peaceful Playground

In
Columbus, Ohio a group of parents gathered before the school year began
to paint symbols and patterns that they hope will result in a Peaceful
Playground at Norwich Elementary School. The volunteers are working
to turn the space into a peaceful playground, which aims to increase
exercise and educational
opportunities while decreasing bullying.
Examples of the new designs that will be painted before the start of
the school year include a giant United States map, number grids, a
letter walkway and a giant circle large enough to fit an entire class
around.
Most games are noncompetitive and focus on a common goal for the group.
"For
the kids that are the prime targets for bullies, this gives them
something to do where they're not the loser," said Mary Chace, a parent
of two children at Norwich and a member of the school's Wellness
Committee.
Also, the program's cost plus paint is cheap compared to traditional playgrounds units which can cost $20,000 each.
"I
want other PTOs to know that the program is inexpensive and this is
something they can easily add to their playground," Chace said.
Schools becoming more and more creative. Congratulations to Jacki for a great job! Send us your photos! |

Peaceful Playgrounds Program INTRODUCING New pricing and components
|
 Based on our research and survey results, Peaceful Playgrounds will no longer be sold as independent parts. Rather, the Program will come in a large kit of components that insure success when implemented properly. For that reason we have bundled our current Peaceful Playgrounds Program Package with the Companion Equipment Package, the Instructional Games DVDS's, the paint machine and striping paint, Recess Roll Out Stencil Set, school Set of Activity Guides, school training webinar "Peaceful Playgrounds?" and the Peaceful Playgrounds Site License.
The complete package represents a 20% savings over the individual pricing. Beginning September 1, 2009 the only way for non-licenses holders to purchase Peaceful Playgrounds will be through ordering the Peaceful Playgrounds Comprehensive Package at $3999. If you currently hold a Peaceful Playgrounds License then you can call our offices regarding any components that you are missing and we will be pleased to assist you in purchasing missing component parts. 877-444-9888
