New Playground Equipment
|
This summer our primary playground will get a facelift! Through Proposition 55 monies, our primary playground structure will be dismantled and the current ground cover - fibar - will be replaced with the rubberized surface similar to the playground structure on our upper grade playground. A new playground structure will be put in place and all work will be done by the beginning of our new school year. This is the result of a playground improvement procedure to make it a fully accessible playground for individuals with disabilities. Look for it in the fall.
For more information about proposition 55, known as the Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 2004, click here. |

Firecracker Fun Run Benefits Strandwood
|
The Pleasant Hill Fourth of July Commission has announced that the Firecracker 5K Fun Run will again be a part of this year's Fourth of July Celebration. All proceeds from the run will be donated to Pleasant Hill schools! Better yet, every runner who registers will receive a T-shirt and can designate what Pleasant Hill school they would like their registration fees to be donated to! Last year, the Fourth of July Commission awarded Strandwood Elementary over $1,000. This is a great opportunity for parents and children, friends and neighbors to raise money for our school.
Fleet Feet Sports, the Rotary Club of Pleasant Hill, and Allied Waste are generously sponsoring this year's event which will begin at 8am and makes three laps of the parade route in downtown Pleasant Hill. Same day registration and the start of the race will be in front of Fleet Feet Sports on Crescent Drive.
On-line registration is now in operation and can be accessed by visiting the Fourth of July Commission's website at www.PHJuly4.com and click on the "5K Run" tab. By registering on-line, individual runners and families will receive a break in registration fees from $5 to $15. Don't forget to mention Strandwood so a portion of your fees come back to the school.
What a great way to kick off the Fourth of July and to help our school!
