PLAYGROUND COMES TO FRUITION

 

 

On December 3rd, 2013, the Brashear Elementary School held a ribbon cutting ceremony for their new Earth Friendly Outdoor Classroom/Playground.  The project started in 2008 with members of the community who were interested in updating and improving the playground for the elementary students.  Parents, grandparents, teachers, staff members, and patrons of the district started raising money through various fundraisers:  cook book sales, raffles, pasta sales, spaghetti suppers, Olan Mills sales, and private donations.  A Missouri Department of Natural Resources Grant, an America’s Farmers Grow Communities Monsanto Fund Grant donated by Frank and Vicki Collop, and MFA Oil Foundation Grants combined with our previous fundraising efforts helped us reach our goal of an Earth Friendly Outdoor Classroom/Playground.  Through the DNR grant, a recycling program has been started in our district and community.  Recycle bins have been placed on the playground for community use.

 

Our Earth Friendly Classroom/Playground contains 30,765 recycled milk jugs and 3,054 recycled tires for a total of 61,890 pounds of material diverted from landfills.  The total project cost was $47,539.

Breakfast each day includes milk and juice.  Students may choose cereal instead of the breakfast item offered.  The following items are offered daily for students to choose from in lieu of the lunch entrée: yogurt or a WOWBUTTER® (peanut butter replacement) and jelly sandwich.
