New playground for Kamloops elementary school
KAMLOOPS — In June, BCAA announced Marion Schilling Elementary was the recipient of one of their Play Here grants, which helps fund new play spaces for kids across BC. This weekend, the new playground took shape at the school, thanks to the dozens of BCAA and community volunteers who put in hours of hard to make it happen. For a few on hand helping with the build, the event was a family affair.
According to grade one student Kara Smith and grade seven student Hailee Ewart, the new playground at Marion Schilling elementary can be summed up in one word: “Awesome.”
The new playground at Marion Schilling Elementary School is getting the thumbs up from students at the school, despite not being able to play on it at recess on Monday, as SD73 tradespeople put the finishing touches on the equipment.
